Maria Magdalena 1440

"Maria Magdalena" is a 15th-century drawing by an anonymous artist. This delicate pen-and-ink artwork depicts the biblical figure of Mary Magdalene, known for her devotion to Jesus. Magdalene stands with a solemn expression, her head veiled and her hands clasped holding a small jar, possibly containing ointment, a symbol of her repentance. The detailed drapery folds showcase the artist's meticulous attention to realism and convey a sense of dignity and reverence. Despite the lack of identifying information about the artist, this drawing exemplifies the artistic style of the early Renaissance, with its emphasis on human form and religious devotion.
