"Portrait of a Woman Playing the Harpsichord and a Child Watching (St. Cecilia)" is a Baroque-era painting attributed to the Italian artist Domenico Zampieri, known as Domenichino. The artwork is believed to have been created in the early 17th century, during a period when Domenichino was recognized for his contributions to the Roman school of painting. The painting depicts Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians, engaged in playing the harpsichord, with a child, possibly an angel or a young apprentice, looking on attentively.

The composition of the painting reflects the Baroque style's emphasis on dramatic expression, movement, and the play of light and shadow, which Domenichino mastered under the influence of his contemporaries and predecessors, such as Annibale Carracci. The subject of St. Cecilia is a recurring theme in Baroque art, often symbolizing the divine nature of music and its importance in religious and secular life.

Domenichino's portrayal of St. Cecilia is notable for its intimate and domestic setting, which contrasts with the more grandiose and public representations of the saint in other works of the period. The artist's attention to detail in the rendering of the harpsichord, the fabrics, and the figures' expressions contributes to the painting's serene and contemplative atmosphere.

While the painting's provenance and history may not be fully documented, "Portrait of a Woman Playing the Harpsichord and a Child Watching (St. Cecilia)" is an example of Domenichino's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and his ability to convey complex spiritual and emotional narratives through his art. The work is considered an important piece within Domenichino's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the Baroque period's artistic developments.

As with many historical artworks, scholarly debate may exist regarding the attribution and interpretation of the painting. However, "Portrait of a Woman Playing the Harpsichord and a Child Watching (St. Cecilia)" remains a significant work for study by art historians and enthusiasts alike, offering insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of 17th-century Italy.
