This St Mary Magdalene must have originally stood on an altar, apparently as the right-hand figure of a group of three or five saints probably centered on a statue of the Virgin. The distribution of weight, the sophisticated contrapposto of the body and the heavy robes as well as the stringency of the contours outlining the inner forms handled in a painterly manner reveal this to be the work of a sculptor with a superb feeling for the plasticity of form.
