介绍（中）	忏悔的罪人抹大拉玛利亚跪在十字架脚下，凝视着基督的尸体。她右手拿着面纱，也许是为了擦去眼泪，左手抓住十字架的脚。在她旁边的左边的地上，有一罐药膏，她会用它来涂抹基督的尸体，以便下葬。她悲伤地出现在十字架下，与远处正在离开现场的士兵和其他见证十字架的人形成鲜明对比 Jan Muller是最受欢迎的风格主义版画家之一，他雕刻了十六世纪末和十七世纪初的主要艺术家的作品。这是他相对罕见的原创作品之一，他将其视为一幅虔诚的图像，将观众定位为基督牺牲的见证人，并邀请我们思考其意义。它像一幅小祭坛画，在一个虚幻的框架中，顶部是拱形的，下面是铭文面板。穆勒在《圣母与孩子祝福》（2014.662）和《悲伤的人》（51.501.6337）中使用了同样的装置，也被认为可以追溯到1593年，但格式不那么复杂。
介绍（英）	Mary Magdalene, the repentant sinner, kneels at the foot of the cross gazing up at the lifeless body of Christ. She holds her veil in her right hand, perhaps to wipe away her tears, and clutches the foot of the cross with her left. Next to her on the ground to the left, is a jar of ointment, which she would use to anoint Christ’s body for burial. Her sorrowful presence below the Cross contrasts with the soldiers and the other witnesses to the Crucifixion visible in the distance, who are departing the scene. Jan Muller was one of the most sought-after Mannerist printmakers, engraving the compositions of the leading artists of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. This is one of his relatively rare original compositions which he conceived as a devotional image, situating the viewer as witness to Christ’s sacrifice and inviting us to contemplate its meaning. It resembles a small altarpiece, in an illusionistic frame with an arched top and a panel below for the inscription. Muller used the same device in The Virgin with the Child Blessing (2014.662), also thought to date from 1593, and in The Man of Sorrows (51.501.6337), but there with a less elaborate format.
