SANTA MARÍA MAGDALENA
Anonymous painting from the Spanish School, from the 17th century. It is an oil on canvas measuring 41 X 28.5 cm. It is about a Mary Magdalene with the perfume jar on one side, looking at the sky, therefore in a certain attitude of prayer. She has had at least one intervention but it could easily have been several. Someone described: Reduced in size and re-framed again in another frame to the original, it presents indications that speak of a reduction and a cut-out of the piece, on its lower side. Probably to take advantage of a high quality frame. It was restored in 2018.
