About this work

The painting depicts a group of people, with a woman at the center holding a musical instrument. She is surrounded by others, including a man holding a staff and another with a sword. The scene appears to be set against a cloudy sky. The woman at the center is likely St. Cecilia, who is often depicted with musical instruments. The other figures in the painting may be saints or angels, but their identities are not immediately clear. For more information on the artist behind this work, look up 1866_person.
