Georges de La Tour's Repentant Magdalene
Closed September 6, 1993
A young woman with pale skin sits at a table in a darkened room in this vertical painting. Long chestnut-brown hair drapes over her shoulder and her deep, cream-colored, long-sleeved garment is open at her neck. She rests her chin in her right hand, farther from us, as her left reaches for a skull placed on a thick book on the table in front of her. The scene is lit by a single candle mostly out of sight behind the skull. Shown in profile, she looks into a small mirror next to the skull, which reflects that object and the book.

Five sketches in brown ink are spaced around a vertically oriented sheet of paper. In the top left quadrant, a bearded man faces our right in profile. He has short, curly hair, a deeply lined face, a pronounced underbite, and the tip of his long nose points down. Two independent, wrinkle-lined eyes are sketched in the top right quadrant of the page. Below are two drawings of women with their shoulders angled away from us to the right. Near the bottom left and smaller in scale, a woman looks over her shoulder at us with a slight smile on her lips. In the bottom right quadrant, a woman with her hair pulled back under a snood looks to our right in profile with her chin tipped up. The neckline of both women’s bodices dip across the shoulder blades in the back. The paper is speckled with faint brown stains and spots.

This painting depicts three individuals in a colorful interior. A man on the left is standing on steps that are coming up from below. He wears a green suit with a white shirt underneath it and holds a hat. His hair appears gray, and he's looking up at a woman standing at the top of the stairs. The woman is turned to the left, looking down at him, with her hands on top of the stair railing. She is wearing a blue striped dress and has short, dark hair. On the right, a man is seated on a patterned orange-and-blue sofa, holding something near his mouth and wearing a green suit. He is also facing the left, looking towards the stairs, and there is a small green window behind him. The people’s skin is painted in shades of pink, purple, and teal. The background of the image includes bold horizontal stripes of red and yellow, with some areas of green behind the man in the chair. The colors in the painting are bright and vibrant, and have been applied with thick, visible brushstrokes.
