"A Female Saint in Prayer" is a notable work by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. This painting, dating from the 17th century, exemplifies Ribera's mastery in capturing the intensity of religious devotion through dramatic chiaroscuro and powerful realism. The artwork portrays a female saint, often identified as Saint Mary Magdalene or Saint Teresa of Ávila, absorbed in fervent prayer. Her uplifted gaze and the emotive expression on her face suggest a moment of divine revelation or ecstatic communion with the divine.

Ribera, who spent most of his career in Naples, which was then part of the Spanish Empire, was influenced by the naturalism of Caravaggio and the Bolognese school. His works are characterized by their stark contrasts of light and shadow, as well as the vivid depiction of human emotion and physicality. "A Female Saint in Prayer" is a testament to Ribera's skill in portraying religious figures with a sense of immediacy and psychological depth that was innovative for its time.

The painting's precise date of creation is uncertain, but it is generally attributed to Ribera's mature period when his style had fully developed. The artwork is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Ribera to achieve the textural variations and subtle gradations of light that enhance the painting's dramatic effect.

"A Female Saint in Prayer" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on personal piety and introspection. The painting is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the Baroque period and Spanish art history.
