About this work

This print shows a woman dressed in flowing robes, holding a small jar. Her hair is curled and pinned back, and she wears a simple necklace. The background is plain and dark, making her face and hands stand out clearly. The text below her name calls her "Mary Magdalen," a biblical figure often linked to repentance. The artist copied this from an earlier painting, but the details are softened here. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
