Carlo Dolci's "Saint Cecilia" is a charcoal drawing depicting the patron saint of music, known for her association with the organ. Cecilia is depicted in a seated pose, her hands resting on a partially obscured keyboard. The saint's melancholic expression and the muted tones of the drawing create an intimate and contemplative atmosphere. Dolci's careful attention to detail and the soft shading of the charcoal create a sense of realism and depth in this piece. The work is a testament to Dolci's mastery of draftsmanship and his ability to convey emotion through subtle gestures and expressions.
