A woman with long brown hair is shown in profile, looking upward with serious eyes. She wears a red cloak over a dark dress, holding a small silver jar with both hands. The background is completely black, making her face and hands stand out sharply. Her expression is calm but focused, as if she’s thinking about something important. The jar she holds is often linked to stories about Mary Magdalene. Look up mary magdalene to see what this painting might be referencing.
