The Ecstasy of Mary Magdalene by Albrecht Dürer depicts a woman standing on a rocky outcrop; she is naked. Her hands are clasped together in front of her chest. She has long wavy hair and a halo around her head. There are four cherubs or putti around her; two on either side. The woman stands on a rocky outcrop; there are cliffs and a body of water behind her. There are hills and mountains in the background. The sky contains several small flying objects that resemble leaves or pieces of paper. There is a signature monogram on the lower part of the rock. The overall image is in black and white.
