"Maria Magdalena" is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Punt (1711-1779) and was created sometime between 1721 and 1779. This print depicts Mary Magdalene in a contemplative pose, leaning against a tree, as she grieves the death of Christ. The piece, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, utilizes the style of Rococo art which is known for its delicate ornamentation, whimsical details, and focus on emotional expression. The etching's composition is both lyrical and dramatic, capturing the deep sorrow that Magdalene experiences as she gazes up at the stormy sky.
