An opulently dressed white woman with long curly reddish-brown hair, seated and gazing upward, her face tilted slightly so that her right cheek rests on her right hand. Her left hand is open face down in her lap, loosely covering two white rose stems. Behind her left shoulder there are loose flower stems on a windowsill, including a red rose and a daffodil among other blooms. Through the window, a mountain and a city are visible in the distance. A beam of light emits from the upper right corner of the painting, angling down through the window to touch the Magdalene's left shoulder.
