Penitent Magdalene

Italienische Grafik 1640–1747, 1675

The artwork depicts a half-length figure of a woman with long, flowing blonde hair. She is positioned seated and slightly turned to her right, with her eyes closed. Her right hand holds a white cloth, which she uses to wipe her face. She is draped in a pink garment that leaves her shoulders exposed. In front of her on a table are three large metal nails and an open book. The background features a rocky cave-like setting with a glimpse of a blue sky and some vegetation visible.
