"Ritratto Di Monaca" is a notable work by the Italian painter Giacomo Ceruti, commonly known as Il Pitocchetto, who was active during the 18th century. This painting, whose title translates to "Portrait of a Nun" in English, is a significant example of Ceruti's focus on depicting the lives and conditions of the lower classes, a theme that was relatively uncommon among his contemporaries. Unlike the grandiose and idealized portraits of nobility and mythology that dominated the art scene of his time, Ceruti chose to direct his attention towards the real and often overlooked segments of society, including beggars, peasants, and, as seen in this work, members of religious orders.

The "Ritratto Di Monaca" stands out for its stark realism and the dignified portrayal of its subject, a nun, whose identity remains unknown. Ceruti's mastery in rendering the textures of the fabric, the nuanced expression of the nun, and the subdued yet expressive color palette, all contribute to the painting's emotional depth and realism. The work is exemplary of Ceruti's skill in capturing the humanity of his subjects, offering viewers a glimpse into the inner life of the nun, beyond her religious and social role.

While the exact date of creation is not definitively known, it is believed to have been painted in the mid-18th century, a period during which Ceruti was highly active in producing works that depicted everyday life with a remarkable level of detail and empathy. "Ritratto Di Monaca" not only reflects Ceruti's artistic philosophy but also serves as an important document of the era's social conditions and attitudes towards religious life.

The painting is considered an important piece within Ceruti's oeuvre, illustrating his unique contribution to the Italian Baroque and Rococo movements by focusing on subjects that were often marginalized in the art of his time. Through works like "Ritratto Di Monaca," Ceruti has been recognized for his pioneering role in the development of genre painting in Italy, marking him as a significant figure in the history of European art.
