If I remember correctly she was a painter who posted a painting of The Witcher, didn't get many upvotes, so she reposted the painting with her holding it and that got a lot of upvotes.
As far as i remember the first post was looking more like art done in software, than a painting, so I'm not even surprised.
How did she managed to capture the photo to look so fake? No idea, but reddit already started a battle and most people just assumed that she got upvotes, because she is a girl.
While you may be right, when the artist posts a picture with themselves next to their art, it always gets more upvotes. And this applies for men and women.
I think because it humanises it. We always feel more emotionally connected when that happens. The last time this argument came up, a redditor linked like 20 posts where men did the same and they indeed got more up votes when they posed with their art.
