Portret van Maria Magdalena 1833 - 1885

"Portret van Maria Magdalena" is an etching by Frédérique Émile Auguste O'Connell-Miethe, a 19th-century artist known for his detailed and expressive portraits. This particular work, created between 1833 and 1885, depicts the face of Mary Magdalene, a prominent figure in Christian tradition, in a close-up view, emphasizing her melancholic expression and the intricate details of her hair. The etching's small dimensions, measuring 75 mm by 50 mm, contribute to its intimate and introspective feel. This artwork is an excellent example of O'Connell-Miethe's skill in capturing emotion and detail through the medium of etching.
