Christ Appearing to Mary Magdalene

Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures in an outdoor setting. The first figure is a man standing in profile, facing right. He has long hair, a beard, and wears a hat. He is minimally clothed, holding a spade or shovel over his shoulder. The second figure is a woman kneeling at the man's feet. She wears a headscarf, a long dress, and reaches up towards the man. The background includes leafy trees, distant buildings, other human figures, and a sky with clouds and light rays.
