Ariadne, Mary Magdalene, a woman with a snake wound around her wrist, Medea after she had been abandoned by Jason, and the unusual story of Cydippe.
Magdalene
Although conflated with another Mary, she features in her own right in paintings of the Deposition, as Myrrhbearer, and Noli me tangere.
A distinctive presumed self-portrait of this exceptional woman painter, cropped close, from an unusual viewpoint, using chiaroscuro, colour, and the most amazing fabric textures.
