Which statement best describes how a 17th century European portrait, such as Mona Lisa differs from the ancient Mexican portrait, such as Ballgame? Performer? (A) asian Mexican porches were usually oil painting while Europeans create clay portraits.

The statement does not accurately describe the differences between the two types of portraits. Firstly, the statement falsely suggests that ancient Mexican portraits were typically oil paintings, which is incorrect. Ancient Mexican art commonly used various materials such as stone, ceramics, and pigments derived from natural sources, rather than oil paint. Additionally, the statement also incorrectly implies that Europeans created clay portraits, which is not true for 17th-century European portraiture. European portraitists during this period used a variety of mediums, including oil paint, but clay was not commonly used for portraiture during this time.
