Question

Why was Sofonisba Anguissola considered a pioneer?

By studying anatomy, she figured out medical techniques.

She invented a new type of oil paint thinner.
She created sketches of military machines.
At the time she was working, not many women were artists.

Answer 1

I scanned this article and the closest it came to talking about any of the options was this:

"Most female artists worked for their family workshops and very few were recognized independently for their talents. Anguissola did not fit in these categories. She became a renowned portraitist at a time when female painters were rare. She and her sisters became ground-breaking examples of what women could achieve in the arts."
