"Die Heilige Magdalena in einer Grotte mit Bibel und Totenkopf" (English: "Saint Mary Magdalene in a Cave with Bible and Skull") is an 18th-century oil painting by the Swiss artist Anton Graff. Known for his portraiture, Graff's depiction of Mary Magdalene is a departure from his typical subject matter, showcasing his versatility and ability to capture religious themes with emotional depth and realism.

The painting portrays Mary Magdalene, a figure from the New Testament who was a follower of Jesus Christ, in a moment of contemplation and penitence. She is traditionally depicted in art as a repentant sinner, and Graff's interpretation is no exception. The setting of a grotto suggests a place of solitude and reflection, aligning with the Christian narrative of her retreat to a life of penance following Jesus's crucifixion.

In the painting, the Magdalene is shown with a Bible and a skull, common vanitas symbols that serve to remind viewers of the transience of life and the importance of spiritual salvation. The skull, in particular, is often associated with the Magdalene's contemplation of mortality and her own salvation. The inclusion of these elements, along with the somber mood and the use of chiaroscuro to highlight the figure of the Magdalene, underscores the themes of repentance and redemption.

Anton Graff's "Die Heilige Magdalena in einer Grotte mit Bibel und Totenkopf" is a significant work that exemplifies the artist's skill in rendering religious subjects with a profound sense of humanity. The painting is a testament to the enduring fascination with Mary Magdalene as a symbol of transformation and divine grace. While the exact date of creation and current location of the painting may not be well-documented, the work remains an important part of Graff's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of religious iconography in European art history.
