Mary Magdalene was a witness to the Crucifixion. This dramatic sculpture suggests devotion. Mary was at crucifixion, burial, and witness of the Resurrection. She was faithful at the end, demonstrating courage while others fled, and hid. This sculpture is an allegory of the Christian soul embracing that sort of faith, and also the expectation of Resurrection. Another interpretation would be lamentation for the death.
