The Ecstasy of St. Mary Magdalene

Lucas Cranach

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a woman surrounded by cherubs. The woman has curly hair and is topless, with her breasts exposed. She is barefoot and appears to be floating or flying, with her body positioned diagonally across the image. Several cherubs with wings are surrounding her, positioned around her head and body. Some of the cherubs are looking at the woman, while others appear to be interacting with her. In the background, there is a landscape with trees, buildings, and a town or village. Two shields are visible in the top corners of the image. The overall style of the drawing is detailed and intricate, with many lines and shading used to create depth and texture. The image is framed by a thin black border.
