Mary Magdalene can be recognized by the jar of ointment in her hands with which she cared for Jesus’ feet following her conversion to Christianity. She is usually depicted as a prostitute, referencing her alleged past. The influence of Italian painting, which Van Scorel encountered during a sojourn in Rome and Venice, is evident in her clothing.
