Rebecca and Eliezer at the Well 1537 - 1550

"Rebecca and Eliezer at the Well" is an etching by Léon Davent from 1537 - 1550. The composition depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis, where Eliezer, Abraham's servant, meets Rebecca, a young woman who is destined to become Isaac's wife. The scene takes place at a well where Rebecca is drawing water, with a group of figures around her, including Eliezer and a group of other women. This etching is a detailed and nuanced depiction of a key moment in the story of Isaac and Rebecca, and it reflects the artist’s mastery of the etching technique. The work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, NY.
