CIRCLE OF SIMON VOUET

PENITENT MARY MAGDALENE WITH ROSARY, IN A CAVE


oil on canvas

canvas: 38 by 32 in.; 96.5 by 81.3 cm.

framed: 45½ by 39 in.; 115.6 by 99.2 cm.

Anonymous sale, Monaco, Sotheby's, 7 - 8 December 1990, lot 76 (as Bolognese School, 17th century).

This painting has the stylistic hallmarks of paintings made by members of Simon Vouet's circle. Although Vouet depicted the Magdalene on multiple occasions, this composition appears to be an invention of this anonymous artist.
