 what makes it your favourite? 
 the simplicity 
and how determined and unbothered she looks
🐦‍🔥 
 never seen that emoji before, really like it

agreed, the clarity and non-chalantness in her eyes reflects somebody that will stand their ground and for what's right 
 exactly!! 
 used to have to go to art museums back in high school and analyse art pieces to get grades

whilst i'm not a painter myself, then it is really fascinating to analyse and try to understand what the artist was trying to say with the given piece 
 here is the full fresco 

it's at the Cathedral of San Donato in Arezzo 
got the great strong Mary Magdalen symbols if you want to analyse 🌞🐦‍🔥🌞 https://image.nostr.build/0507bd4bb5d289c6319e5a0ff7937968316619c969003b8e3db4f9e931f42ad5.jpg
