St. Cecilia is a 1650 by Schelte Bolswert, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a woman in a flowing dress, sitting at a table with her hands resting on it. She is surrounded by cherubs and columns, and there is a dog lying at her feet. The woman's face is turned upwards, as if she is looking at something above her. The woman is dressed in a long, flowing robe that drapes elegantly around her body. Her hair is pulled back, and she has a serene expression on her face. The cherubs surrounding her are depicted in various poses, some playing instruments and others looking up at her. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Bolswert, Schelte.
