Saint Mary Magdalene

Unknown

late 15th century · Limewood · The Cloisters

The calm, remote face and the broad sweep of drapery produce a serene nobility characteristic of sculpture made in the Swabian city of Ulm toward the end of the 15th century. The figure probably came from a large carved and painted altarpiece.
