About the piece
Painted around 1616, this masterful work by Artemisia Gentileschi depicts the artist herself as a lute player. The striking contrast between the deep shadows and the luminous blue of her gown exemplifies the Caravaggesque style for which she is renowned, offering both technical brilliance and a commanding personal presence.
