Let the person on the 3rd floor notice... (br) Self-portraits are generally painted by looking in a mirror, so the portrait is exactly opposite to reality... (br) 5th floor, lying is just a matter of fitting the theme, as long as it's reasonable, for example: pretending to be the daughter of painter B to defraud an inheritance... The exhibition can be said to: increase the fame of painter B's posthumous works... (br) A new topic will be posted at noon, newcomers, please take care of me. By the way, how can I join the detective team?

It is indeed rare for someone to paint with their left hand, but when painting a self-portrait, there is usually a mirror opposite. The painter uses their right hand to paint and holds the candlestick with their left hand. The so-called daughter should only be seeing the reflection of the painter in the mirror.
Thinking is similar to the floor. Drawing one's own portrait might be the B in the mirror, so the left hand should be holding the candlestick, and the right hand should be painting.
