"Parable of the Lost Drachma" is a 17th-century oil on canvas painting by the Italian Baroque artist Domenico Feti. The artwork, measuring 94.6 cm by 75.9 cm, is part of a series of paintings by Feti that depict parables from the New Testament. This particular painting illustrates the parable of the lost coin, as recounted in the Gospel of Luke 15:8-10, in which a woman searches diligently for a lost drachma and rejoices upon finding it.

Domenico Feti, also known as Domenico Fetti, was born in Rome in 1589 and later moved to Mantua, where he became a court painter to the Gonzaga family. His works are known for their dynamic compositions, expressive figures, and the use of light to convey emotion and narrative. "Parable of the Lost Drachma" showcases Feti's skill in storytelling through art, as he captures the moment of discovery and the woman's relief and joy in a vivid and relatable manner.

The painting is notable for its attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the woman's facial expression and the objects surrounding her, which add to the narrative and symbolic richness of the scene. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, further emphasizes the focal point of the composition and adds a sense of drama to the moment depicted.

"Parable of the Lost Drachma" is considered an important work in Feti's oeuvre and in the broader context of Baroque religious painting. It reflects the period's interest in depicting biblical stories in a way that is both emotionally engaging and accessible to viewers. The painting is currently held in the collection of the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and theological significance.
