A highly realistic photograph of Saint Mary of Egypt at the age of 59, sitting humbly in front of the Monastery of Saint John the Baptist on the banks of the River Jordan. She is contemplating the sunset, which bathes the scene in a warm golden glow. Her dress is extremely humble, fitting for the "Mother of the Desert" from the 4th century, inspired by the depiction of Mary of Egypt by José de Ribera. The tranquil River Jordan and the monastery's stone architecture form the background, with the setting sun emphasizing the spiritual depth and serenity of the scene.
