About the piece
Painted in 1829 by Fanny Paelinck-Horgnies, this neoclassical masterpiece portrays Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians. The artist captures a moment of graceful concentration as the figure, adorned with a wreath of white roses, plucks the strings of a large, decorative harp within a refined interior that opens onto a classical landscape.
