Description: | In the opening of a cave in a rocky landscape, reclines the figure of a young woman, naked except for a swathe of blue drapery across her upper thighs and lower torso. Her figure stretches diagonally across the composition, head to centre-right, feet to bottom-left corner. She has long blonde hair, the tresses of which she holds to her left breast with her left hand. Her head is inclined downwards to the left, as she looks at a scroll of paper before her, which she unfurls with her outstretched right hand. In a still-life arrangement on a rock to the right, are her ointment pot (with ribbed lid), figs and a honeycomb. | Subjects: | religion (Mary Magdalen) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Werff, Pieter van der (Dutch painter, 1665-1722) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Werff, Adriaen van der (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1659-1722) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8761... | Go to resource |
