Work Incorrectly Attributed

Searching for depictions of Mary Magdalene to accompany an article, I was surprised when I came across this image. In spite of her being commonly depicted as living as an outcast in the wilderness, I was not expecting Mary to be so muscular and to have grown a full beard.
My scholarship is not on par with some of the others around here, but my amateur examination of this work of art strongly suggests to me that this is not in fact, Mary Magdalene in the desert for the reasons mentioned, as well as the fact that the lush foliage is not in keeping with traditional depictions of the desert by other artist in that time period.
A second clue is the images engraved title "Apollo et Silenus"

Apparently it is not even Piranesi, but Carracci... for now though I fixed it to Apollo and Silenus. Sorry, it happens when you are crawling at least several dozens of artworks each day :))
