About this work

An engraved print shows Saint Cecilia seated at an organ with an ornate scrolled panel, her gaze lifted toward a radiant halo. Two winged putti at left turn toward a music book, one gesturing upward. The caption reads S. CAECILIA, and the plate is credited to Peter Paul Rubens as painter, with Lommelin as engraver and Gillis Hendrickx as publisher.
