St Cecily is a 1685 by Unknown, depicting Saint Cecilia, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a woman with a flower crown on her head, looking up as if listening to something. She wears a fancy, draped dress with lace details and holds a flower in her left hand. Behind her is a dark, shadowy background with a fireplace and a small table holding a candle holder. The woman’s pose and the crown suggest she might be a saint. The lighting highlights her face and hands, making them stand out against the dark background. Look up saint cecilia to see why she’s often shown this way.
