The painting depicts a woman seated at a table with her hands near her chest. She wears a white blouse with billowy sleeves and an orange robe that covers her lower body and one shoulder. Her dark hair is styled in an updo. The woman sits in front of a dark area with a table to her left, which holds a skull, a book, and a small vase. A staff leans against the dark area behind the table. In the background, there are trees and a cloudy sky visible. The overall atmosphere suggests a contemplative or melancholic mood. The subject is Saint Mary Magdalen, depicted by Simon Vouet.
