Created: c. 1612–1615
Medium: Oil on canvas
.
The Story and Subject Matter
The painting depicts a young woman intensely focused on tuning or playing a lute. She is seated at a table covered with a dark green cloth, surrounded by other musical instruments, including a violin and two recorders (or flutes).
1. The Symbolism of Music: In 17th-century art, music was often used as a symbol for harmony or love. However, Gentileschi’s approach here is very realistic and professional. The woman isn't just a "pretty subject"; she appears to be a serious musician. She is leaning in to catch the exact pitch of the string she is tuning, emphasizing the auditory nature of the scene.
2. The Identity of the Model: There is a long-standing debate among art historians that the model for this painting might be the artist's daughter, Artemisia Gentileschi. Artemisia went on to become one of the most famous and successful female painters of the Baroque period. Whether or not it is her, the figure possesses a grounded, powerful presence that was characteristic of the Gentileschi family style.The Story and Subject Matter

Historical Context
This painting was likely created during Orazio’s most successful period in Rome. During this time, the city was the center of the art world, and "musical" themes were highly popular among wealthy patrons. The painting demonstrates a shift in art history where scenes of everyday life (genre painting) were treated with the same dignity and scale as religious or historical subjects.
