Description

A striking 18th century oil depicting a pious Mary Magdalene. The artist portrays the saint with long, flowing blonde hair and penitent tears in her eyes. A skull at her hands reminds the viewer of their mortality and the need for repentance. Unsigned. Well presented in an ornate gilt frame with fluted cove, acanthus leaf corners, and laurel leaf running pattern. On panel.

Condition

There is light discolouration to the painting, minor abrasions and some craquelure to the surface. Inspection under UV light reveals areas of overpainting. The frame shows signs of wear consistent with age, including stable cracking, small losses and light scuffing. The frame has undergone previous restoration work.
