After Breakfast (Päättynyt aamiainen / Avslutad frukost), 1890, by Elin Danielson-Gambogi (1861–1919)
Apparently this painting is the first depiction of a woman with a hungover in Finnish art, at least by a female artist. It was condemned and mocked by the contemporaries; even Danielson-Gambogi herself later seems to have regretted presenting it publicly, calling it "that idiotic breakfast thing". *
Obviously I disagree with her: I've always loved this painting and its atmosphere :)

This is Bisan Owda (@wizard_bisan1 on IG), she's a young journalist who's been documenting the daily life in Gaza, Palestine since before October of last year and continues to do so now, as her and her family have been displaced by Israel, her home and workplace destroyed in the bombings. If you don't already follow her, I highly suggest to do so, as she takes interviews from the local people in the refugee camps and provides a fantastic insight into Palestinians as a nation, their culture and the horrors they face under the Israeli apartheid regime in their own land.🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
i'm so, so excited to share this painting with you. i have officially been making art for 20 years, and i thought it would be fun to repaint the first digital work i ever made.
i have wanted to give up art so many times over the years. i'm tremendously proud of myself for sticking with it and improving as much as i have. i hope you're proud of me too! please be sure to zoom in to see all those details i worked so hard on (especially the rhinestones!!). thank you for being with me during my art journey. 20 years, 20 more 🖤
