From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
The Penitent Saint Mary Magdalene is a 1662 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a woman sitting on a rocky shore by water, dressed in a simple white top and dark skirt. Behind her, two naked boys are jumping into the water from a ledge. The scene looks calm, with soft light and muted colors. The woman’s pose is quiet and thoughtful, while the boys add movement. The lighting creates gentle shadows, especially on the rocks and water. Check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
