"St. Cecilia Playing" is an oil painting by the Austrian artist Simon Glücklich (1863–1943), who was known for his genre paintings and portraits. The artwork depicts Saint Cecilia, the patroness of musicians and Church music, often portrayed in art playing an organ or other musical instrument. In Glücklich's rendition, St. Cecilia is shown in a moment of divine inspiration, playing a stringed instrument, which reflects the Baroque tradition of representing the saint with various musical instruments to symbolize her connection to music and the arts.

Simon Glücklich, a student of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, was influenced by the academic style of painting, which is evident in the detailed and realistic portrayal of St. Cecilia in this work. The painting is characterized by its rich color palette, careful attention to texture and light, and the serene expression on the saint's face, which conveys a sense of spiritual contemplation and musical devotion.

"St. Cecilia Playing" is part of Glücklich's broader oeuvre, which often explored religious and mythological themes, imbued with a sense of romanticism and emotional depth. Although the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when Glücklich was most active in his artistic career.

The painting contributes to the long-standing artistic tradition of venerating St. Cecilia within the visual arts, and it exemplifies Glücklich's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with both technical proficiency and emotive power. "St. Cecilia Playing" remains an important work within the context of Austrian art history and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of the enduring legacy of St. Cecilia in the arts.
