Book cover featuring a detail of Artemisia Gentileschi's painting "Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy." The detail focuses on the head, shoulders and part of a right arm of a long-haired white woman, seated (depicted from the side) with her head tilted back, eyes closed, and arm reaching forward. Her white blouse falls off her right shoulder and her long curly brown hair flows behind her. The title, author, publisher and series information are presented in black text within a white box that extends from the spine across most of the near-bottom of the book cover.
