Description

It shows a woman in a yellow gown and white chemise playing a lute, with an organ in the background. A cleaning in 1988 made the organ visible and confirmed the depiction of Saint Cecelia an early Christian martyr who later became associated with musical instruments.[2]

Provenance

It is believed to have been painted in 1620 and is known to be in the collection Alessandro Biffi by 1637.[3] It passed to the Spada collection in the seventeenth century as a means of settling debts and is currently in the Galleria Spada in Rome.[3] In 1759 it was inventoried as "school of Titian", then later ascribed to Caravaggio and Caroselli, before being suggested as a work of Artemisia in 1911.[4]
