The artwork, titled “Mary Magdalen,” was created by Eric Gill in 1926. It belongs to the Art Deco movement and falls within the genres of illustration and religious painting.
The artwork is a monochromatic illustration depicting several figures in a tightly composed square format. The central focus is a serene, contemplative scene involving Mary Magdalen. The lines are clean and stylized, characteristic of the Art Deco aesthetic. The attention to detail in the figures’ expressions and gestures suggests a moment of deep emotional and spiritual significance, seamlessly blending religious iconography with the elegant design principles of the Art Deco movement.
