Mary Magdalene Kneeling, Study For The Christ And Mary Magdalene 1890

"Mary Magdalene Kneeling, Study For The Christ And Mary Magdalene" (1890), by Finnish artist Albert Edelfelt (1854–1905), depicts a young woman kneeling with her head bowed, likely in prayer. The work is characterized by its loose, expressive brushstrokes and a muted color palette, typical of Edelfelt's later style. It is a preparatory study for a larger painting of the same name, offering a glimpse into the artist's process and the development of his signature style.
