About the piece
Created around 1675 by Adam Camerarius, this oil on canvas depicts Mary Magdalene in a traditional pose of devotion. Her upward gaze and clasped hands, combined with the rich red and gold tones of her garments, exemplify the emotive power and technical mastery of Dutch Golden Age portraiture.
