Hi
Here's a link that might help.

Apparently Guido Reni made several Magdalene paintings and etchings. Yours seems too "new" to be done in the 17thc. Put up an image of the front, back, any other writing on the print if you want further research. I know there are some etchings to be found that include his name signed in ink. The ones I found seem significantly older than yours. I suspect that yours is an "after" or "in the style of" gudio reni. Still nice...
Further work needed to definitively answer...

For fmtaskart- hi- I can't believe the answer came so quickly. Unfortunately I can't really go any further with this print because when I got it many years ago, I had it reframed , and it was then pasted on a board before the framing. But in all my search, I did find a clue directing me toward guido reni. I'm sure the age is much more recent than that which you mentioned, but it could be from the 19th century since the original frame looked really old and I have had it since the very early '60s. Thanks so much toby z
