An intimate oil portrait depicting Mary Magdalene in a contemplative pose, her head resting gently upon her hand whilst holding an open book. The composition employs dramatic chiaroscuro against a dark background, drawing attention to the subject's softly illuminated face and bare shoulders. Copied from the original work by the celebrated Italian Renaissance painter Correggio, the work is presented in a decorative gilt-effect frame. On canvas.
