Les Penitents: Mort de Ste. Madeleine

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white etching of a woman lying on the ground. The woman is on the right side of the image and on her back with her head tilted back and her mouth open. She wears a long robe and has long hair. Her left arm is stretched out to the side and her right arm is bent with her hand near her stomach. There are objects to her right including a bowl-like object and a pot. The background shows a cave-like setting with a curved wall behind the woman and a more jagged wall on the left side. The image has a border around it and text at the bottom. The text reads "Mors Sancte Magdalene." There is a signature in the bottom left corner. The image is on a textured surface, likely paper.
