Mary Magdalene bathing Christ’s feet is relegated to a tiny vignette in the background of this engraving. Nearly all of the foreground space is devoted to the weeping Magdalene, her voluptuous beauty referencing her previous life as a prostitute. She holds a vessel containing the ointment she will use to bathe Christ’s feet.
