Magdalen

Italian 17th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person seated in a relaxed position with flowing fabric covering their legs and part of their body. The figure is turned to the left, with their left arm extended and head slightly turned to the right. They have long wavy hair, and defined facial features, with a gaze directed upward. The person is dressed in loose-fitting garments with a historical style. The scene is outdoors surrounded by foliage, with two additional figures in the background. A skull is partially visible on the ground in the lower left corner, and an ornate vessel is near the figure's feet. The background consists of lush trees and foliage.
