Even more rare were self-portrait paintings that portrayed the artist as a painter. At the time, painting was not yet respected as a profession, so painters mostly chose to emphasize other qualities in their self-portraits, like their intellect or social status. In the city of Bologna, the first artist to depict themself painting was a man named Annibale Carracci. A painting of his from around 1585 shows Carracci in front of an easel holding a palette. Text 2 In their self-portraits, Bolognese artists typically avoided referring to the act of painting until the mid-1600s. However, Lavinia Fontana’s 1577 painting, Self-Portrait at the Keyboard , stands out as the earliest example of such a work by an artist from Bologna. Although the artist is depicted playing music, in the background, one can spot a painting easel by a window.","stimulus_html":"<p><strong>Text 1</strong></p>\n<p>Italian painters in the 1500s rarely depicted themselves in their work.

The author of Text 2 states that Fontana’s painting, which depicts a painting easel in the background, was made in 1577, eight years before Carracci’s painting. Therefore, they might argue that Caracci was not “the first artist” to depict themself as a painter. </p><p>Choice A is incorrect. The texts don’t support this choice. Neither text mentions the reputation or status of either Carracci or Fontana. Choice B is incorrect. The author of Text 2 does not comment on the intention or meaning of Fontana’s self-depiction in <em>Self-Portrait at the Keyboard</em>. This choice also holds little connection to the underlined claim. Choice C is incorrect. The texts don’t support this choice. The author of Text 2 does not suggest any inspirational relationship between Fontana and Carracci. The author of Text 2 is concerned with showing that Fontana’s painting is the earliest example of an artist referring to painting in their self-portrait, but makes no mention of her influence on others. </p>","correct_answer":["D"],"has_media":false,"has_mathml":false,"has_table":false,"source_created_at":"2023-08-02T20:25:59.361000+00:00","source_updated_at":"2023-08-02T20:25:59.361000+00:00","options":[{"label":"A","content_html":"<p>Carracci and Fontana were among the most well-respected painters in Bologna at the time.</p>","ord":0},{"label":"B","content_html":"<p>The depiction of Fontana in <em>Self-Portrait at the Keyboard</em> was intended to underscore the artist’s creativity.</p>","ord":1},{"label":"C","content_html":"<p>Fontana likely inspired the reference to an easel and palette in Carracci’s painting.</p>","ord":2},{"label":"D","content_html":"<p><em>Self-Portrait at the Keyboard</em> was painted earlier than Carracci’s painting and also refers to the artist’s craft.</p>","ord":3}],"attribution":{"source_id":"cb_question_bank","source_name":"College Board digital SAT question bank (community dump)","rights_holder":"College Board","canonical_url":"https://satsuitequestionbank.collegeboard.org/","retrieved_from":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mdn522/sat-question-bank/main/data/cb-digital-questions.json","attribution":"SAT practice questions © College Board, from the official SAT Suite Question Bank.
