Esther before Ahasuerus by Artemisia Gentileschi, 1629

The Triumph of Galatea by Artemisia Gentileschi, 1650
Nobody's fully sure who painted this one — it's credited to either Bernardo Cavallino or Artemisia Gentileschi, and from what I can find, that argument's still open.
Christ Blessing the Children by Artemisia Gentileschi, 1626
This one actually hangs in a church in Rome, from what I can find — Sant'Ambrogio e Carlo al Corso — despite popping up in art databases like a museum piece.
