"Christ and Mary Magdalene" is a pen and ink drawing by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. The drawing depicts Christ reclining with his head resting in the lap of Mary Magdalene, with a pot and two spools of thread in the foreground. Dürer's meticulous attention to detail and anatomical accuracy are evident in this work, which is a powerful and moving depiction of the close relationship between Christ and his follower. The drawing is likely a preparatory study for a larger painting, and is a testament to Dürer's skill as a draftsman.
