The Repentant Magdalene is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows two women indoors. The woman on the right sits with one leg bent, wearing a long, shimmery dress and a dark green top. Her hair is loose, and she holds her hands together. Behind her, another woman in dark clothing sits quietly, her face half-hidden by a hood. The red curtain in the background looks heavy and dark. The woman’s dress catches the light, making it look almost metallic. This photo uses chiaroscuro.
