editJust a thought, and probably original research, but the ointment jar, emphasis on feet, and nudity suggest to me that this may have been intended to represent the Magdalene. Kafka Liz (talk) 22:22, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- Pinging Johnbod for opinion. Kafka Liz (talk) 22:31, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- Could be, but the frilly discarded towel/clothes & jewellery maybe suggest not. Plus she's a bit too nude I think. Nobody seems to have suggested that. Do we really have only one other article on a work by him? Not to mention Italian Renaissance sculpture. Johnbod (talk) 04:22, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- Was just an idle thought. Sculpture isn't really my area, much less that of this period, so I thought I'd ask someone who knew more. :) Kafka Liz (talk) 08:16, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
