This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Penitent Magdalen designed from a painting by Pompeo Batoni shows Mary engaged in an emotional moment of introspection and accountability by taking responsibility for her actions and asking for forgiveness and repentance through prayer and study of God's word.  The artist painted this during a time when Catholicism was being challenged by the Protestant Church in the form of reformation, and the artist wanted to inspire greater devotion and a spiritual closeness with God by heralding accountability for our actions.  This is an act of humility as you can see in Mary's pose with her hands folded and her tear-stained eyes looking upwards towards heaven.  Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
