S. Maria Magdalena

Antonie Wierix

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman from the waist up. She is turned to the side, with her head tilted forward and downward. Her facial features include closed eyes, arched eyebrows, and a serene expression. Her hair is gathered up at the back and some pieces frame her face. She wears flowing clothes with intricate details, and holds a book in her left hand and an ornate jar in her right hand. The background shows a landscape with crosses, trees, and a city or castle structure.
