About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a close-up of a person’s face and hands. The face has a serious expression, with shadows under the eyes and a slight frown. The hands are clasped together in front of them, looking tense or prayerful. The image is blurry in spots, making details hard to see. The lighting is uneven, with some areas very dark and others bright. Look up Mary Magdalene next to see how she’s shown in other artworks.
