Penitent Magdalene is a 1650 oil by Unknown, a Early Baroque Italian work, depicting Mary Magdalene, held at Capitoline Museums.
The painting depicts a woman sitting on a stone platform, draped in a brown robe with her right arm outstretched. She holds a rosary in her left hand, and a skull and a book are placed on a pedestal to her left. The background features a dark sky with trees and a body of water. The woman's gaze is directed upwards, and her expression conveys a sense of contemplation. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber, with muted colors that evoke a sense of introspection.
