"A Young Woman Holding a Sieve" is a notable painting by Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, better known as Guercino, an influential Italian Baroque painter of the early 17th century. The artwork, dating from around 1622–1623, is a fine example of Guercino's early work, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which was a hallmark of Baroque art. The painting depicts a young woman in a contemplative pose, holding a sieve, which is often interpreted as a symbol of purity and chastity, possibly alluding to the biblical figure of Susanna or to the virtue of Temperance.

The composition's striking realism and the psychological depth of the figure reflect Guercino's mastery in portraying human emotion and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of inner life. The use of a sieve as a prop adds a layer of iconographic complexity to the work, inviting various interpretations based on contemporary symbolism and allegory. The painting is executed in oil on canvas and is noted for its rich color palette and the skillful rendering of textures, from the woman's delicate skin to the intricate folds of her garment.

"A Young Woman Holding a Sieve" is a testament to Guercino's talent and his contribution to the Baroque movement, offering insight into the period's artistic innovations and the thematic preoccupations of the era. The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important piece within Guercino's oeuvre, contributing to our understanding of the development of Baroque painting in Italy. It remains an object of study for its aesthetic qualities and its emblematic representation of 17th-century Italian art.
