Penitent Mary Magdalene is a 1550 wood by Marco Basaiti, a Mannerism work, depicting Mary Magdalene, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This painting depicts a woman standing in front of a rocky landscape, wearing a long red robe draped over her shoulders and a gray dress underneath. Her hands are clasped together in front of her chest, and she has bare feet. The background features a rugged cliff face with a few sparse trees and a small structure in the distance.
