Original – "The Magdalen Reading is one of three surviving fragments of a large mid-15th-century oil on panel altarpiece by the Early Netherlandish painter Rogier van der Weyden. Completed some time between 1435 and 1438, it depicts a young woman identifiable as the Magdalen from the jar of ointment placed in the foreground."
