This is a painting featuring Saint Mary Magdalene praying. Mary Magdalene is depicted in a contemplative state, resting her head on one hand, while holding a small crucifix in the other. She is surrounded by colorful angels, with one angel holding a cloth and another in prayer. In the background, there is a small church on a hilltop with a flag. The painting is framed with floral and ribbon motifs and includes the text "SAINTE-MARIE-MADELEINE PRIEZ POUR NOUS." The style is reminiscent of French folk art.
