"Woman Playing the Lute" is an oil painting created by the Dutch artist Hendrick Terbrugghen between 1624 and 1626. Terbrugghen, a leading figure of the Utrecht Caravaggisti—a group of Dutch painters influenced by the work of the Italian master Caravaggio—was renowned for his ability to blend Caravaggio's dramatic chiaroscuro and realism with a more gentle and lyrical approach. This painting exemplifies Terbrugghen's skill in merging these elements, presenting a quiet, introspective scene that captures a moment of musical contemplation.

The painting depicts a young woman absorbed in playing the lute, an instrument associated with love and courtship in the 17th century. The soft lighting focuses on her face and hands, illuminating her concentration and the delicate strings of the lute. Terbrugghen's use of light and shadow not only enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure but also contributes to the intimate atmosphere of the composition.

Measuring 101.6 cm by 86.4 cm, "Woman Playing the Lute" is a testament to Terbrugghen's mastery of genre painting, a style that portrays scenes of everyday life. The artwork is characterized by a restrained palette and a keen attention to texture and detail, from the intricate patterns of the woman's clothing to the polished surface of the lute.

"Woman Playing the Lute" is held in high regard for its contribution to the Dutch Golden Age of painting, a period marked by a flourishing of the arts in the Netherlands. The work is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. Through this painting and others like it, Terbrugghen's legacy endures as a pivotal figure in the transition from the dramatic theatricality of Caravaggio to the more subdued and reflective qualities that would come to define Dutch painting in the 17th century.
