Default Identify painting

Hi I would love some help identifying and locating
A print.
The painting is of a pregnant woman
Sitting at a candle lit table with a skull
In her lap. If I remember correctly she has
A crimson velvet long flowing dress. It is older , I felt a medieval
Early renaissance feel from it.
Does this ring any bells for anyone? Any help
Or ideas of where to look would be appreciated.

Thank you!

You are describing Georges de La Tour's Penitent Magdalen. There are several versions at major museums around the world.
