The Magdalen in Penance by Hendrick Goltzius: A woman with long wavy hair wearing a simple dress sits on a rocky slope. Her right leg bends in front of her body with her right knee bent and her right foot positioned near her left knee. Her left leg stretches behind her with her left foot bare and pointing down. The woman's left arm supports her body on a skull. The woman holds an open book on her lap with both hands. A small ornate vase sits on the ground in front of her. An owl sits on a rocky outcropping to her right. Trees and a cloudy sky are in the background. The image is in black and white. The woman's body faces right. The woman looks down. The overall mood is contemplative.
