Google Doodle honoured the 17th century Dutch painter Judith Leyster in recognition of her artwork and paintings that she made.

“Misogyny and a forged signature caused art dealers to misattribute her paintings to male artists for decades,” says the Google Doodle archive on Judith Leyster. It is believed by the historians that all her paintings were attributed to male artists because of the mentality that the skill of painting only lies with the males. Some of the first and most recognised artwork of Judith Leyster from 1629 are Serenade and Jolly Topper.
