ANTIQUE CIRCA 1800 NEEDLEWORK EMBROIDERY ON SILK OF SAINT MAGDALENA. MOUNTED ON THE ORIGINAL WOOD BACKING. I BELIEVE THE ANTIQUE TRADE IN EUROPE CALL THIS BERLINER WORK. THE FACE AND PARTS OF THE BODY ARE HAND PAINTED AND REST OF THE PICTURE EMBROIDERED WITH CHENILLE YARN OR THREAD GIVING IT AN IRIDESCENT APPEARANCE. IT MEASURES 8 INCHES WIDE BY 10 INCHES TALL. SAINT MARY MAGDALENE TRAVELED WITH JESUS AS ONE OF HIS FOLLOWERS AND WITNESSED TO HIS CRUCIFIXION, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION. THE PICTURE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE GREAT PAINTING “PENITENT MAGDALENE” BY EL GRECO CIRCA 1576.
