This painting by Flemish Baroque artist Anthony van Dyck, known for his portraits, depicts a young woman with long red hair resting her head on her hand. While the title suggests the subject may be Mary Magdalene, the painting's loose brushstrokes and focus on the emotional expression of the sitter make it a compelling example of van Dyck's skill as a portrait painter. His paintings are known for their elegance and realistic portrayal of figures, often featuring a soft, luminous quality.
