This moving account, which originally was "In Count room" of the Palais Attems in Graz, shows the penitent Mary Magdalene. In particular, the detail of the trickling over the left cheek tears helps to attract the sympathy of the viewer. It is interesting that we have a lot more the impression of a concrete portrait and not those of an idealized saints before us. Though not to the Magdalene representations, there is but one similarity that figure with Christ in Guido Reni "Baptism of Christ" in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna. Further works by Johann Carl Loth and above all of his student Hans Adam Weissenkircher should be integrated into the series of models - even if Remp did not apply the same quick brush stroke.
