Christ and the Woman of Samaria 1698 - 1746

"Christ and the Woman of Samaria" is a black and white drawing by Dutch artist Nicholas Verkolje. The piece depicts the biblical story of Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. The scene is set in an idyllic landscape with a well, a tree, and a stone structure. Verkolje captures the moment of conversation between Jesus and the woman. This drawing, created between 1698 and 1746, is a fine example of Verkolje's mastery of drawing and his ability to render the human form with anatomical accuracy and detail. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
