"Christus und Magdalena (Ostermorgen)" is a pencil sketch by Philipp Veit, depicting the moment when Jesus Christ appears to Mary Magdalene on the morning of his resurrection. The sketch, housed in the Städel Museum, shows Christ in a simple robe, his hand raised in blessing, while Mary Magdalene, wearing a long flowing dress, appears surprised and touched by the divine encounter. Veit's sketch captures the solemnity and emotional weight of this biblical event, with its focus on the figures and their gestures, rather than intricate details. The work is a testament to Veit's skill as a draftsman and his understanding of religious themes.
