Mary Magdalene [recto]

Biagio Pupini

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a woman standing elegantly with her body slightly turned to the side. She has delicate facial features, a serene expression, and styled hair. She wears a flowing robe and holds a small vessel in one hand. The background includes a cherub-like figure and swirling patterns. The drawing is done in sepia tones, giving it an aged look.
