Christus en de Samaritaanse vrouw c. 1711s

This etching by Andries van (Sr.) Buysen, titled "Christus en de Samaritaanse vrouw" (Christ and the Samaritan Woman), depicts a scene from the Bible. The artwork shows Jesus seated at a well, talking to a woman from Samaria. The artist's detailed rendering of the figures and the well creates a sense of realism. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast of light and dark, adds depth and drama to the composition. The image is framed by a border with inscriptions in Dutch, French, and German, providing context to the biblical story. This etching was likely created for a larger set of prints illustrating the life of Christ and can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
