Christ and the woman of Samaria: an arched print 1711 - 1800

This anonymous 18th-century print depicts the biblical story of Christ and the woman of Samaria at Jacob's well. The scene is set in a rural landscape with a well in the foreground and a distant cityscape. Christ is seated by the well, while the woman stands nearby, holding a water jug. The figures are depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail in their clothing and postures. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a visual interpretation of a well-known biblical story.
