A lithograph (or similar process) of a 17th century (I think) painting of Mary Magdalene in a cave reclining pose in blue dress reading an open book with a skull next to the book. Very old!!!!! Mary Magdalene is with flowing blonde hair. The paper is heavy and has a ridging texture on top. There are numbers in green on the skull (I can't make them out --a signature or numbers?) The piece needs restoration there are several small tears in it and scraping of the glazing or paint on it in a couple of places. Does anyone know who the artist was and what I have? It was in a antique frame without any glass on it when I found it. The photo of the painting I found on a search on google, but on my litho the colors are very dark.
