Christ Appearing to Mary Magdalene

German 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The figures are depicted from head to toe. One figure stands on the left, holding a staff with a cross and a banner. The other figure kneels on the ground next to the standing figure. Both figures have long hair, wear robes, and have dark haloes around their heads. The background shows a fenced area with horizontal structures, green patches, and a plain sky.
