The saint is portrayed in a nocturnal setting illuminated by a lantern while she plays the organ. She is accompanied by angels, one of whom rests his foot on the bellows of the organ and holds the ropes of the instrument in his hands to regulate the flow of air. The outer rim of the organ bears the artist’s initials.
