"A Sibyl" is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque painter Guido Reni, created circa 1640–1645. Reni, known for his classical and elegant style, depicted various sibyls throughout his career, and this particular work is a testament to his fascination with these prophetic women from classical antiquity. Sibyls were female oracles or prophetesses who were believed to be endowed with the ability to foretell the future, and they were revered in ancient Greek and Roman cultures.

The painting portrays a sibyl, often identified as the Persian Sibyl, in a moment of introspection or divine inspiration. She is depicted with a serene expression, her gaze turned upwards, possibly signifying a moment of receiving a prophetic vision. The sibyl is adorned in flowing drapery, which was a characteristic feature of Reni's work, showcasing his mastery of rendering fabric and the play of light and shadow. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, adds to the dramatic effect and highlights the figure's contemplative state.

Reni's "A Sibyl" is celebrated for its graceful composition and the delicate rendering of the sibyl's features. The painting's precise date of creation is not definitively known, but it is generally attributed to the latter part of Reni's career when he had fully developed his mature style. The artwork is a fine example of Baroque portraiture and religious symbolism, reflecting the period's interest in classical mythology and its integration into Christian iconography.

The painting has been held in various private and public collections over the centuries, and its provenance contributes to its historical significance. As with many of Reni's works, "A Sibyl" has been studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of 17th-century Italian art. It remains an important piece for scholars interested in the Baroque period and in the oeuvre of Guido Reni.
