This 1817 lithograph by renowned Italian sculptor Antonio Canova depicts Saint Mary Magdalene in a state of penitent contemplation. The print showcases three different views of the sculpture, revealing the meticulous detail of the artist's rendering. Canova's work is known for its Neoclassical style, drawing inspiration from the idealized forms of ancient Greek and Roman art, a style that influenced generations of artists.
