Representation of Mary Magdalene. Oak. Northern France, mid 19th century. H.58. Note the very fine quality of the sculpture, characteristic of the Troubadour style (very popular with the Duchess of Berry), a reaction to the revolutionary violence and an appreciation of the medieval Christian past in the wake of Chateaubriand's publication in 1800 of "The Genius of Christianity".
