Adolphe-Leon Willette (1857-1926) was a French painter, lithographer and illustrator; also he was known as an apprentice of Cabanel. Madeleine was made as a manuscript in 1911, and printed 10 years later as a limited facsimile edition on Arches paper. Social satire, telling the story of a contemporary prostitute girl, rearranges the evangelical legend of Saint Madeleine. The story accompanied by the erotical lithographs in colours.
