Christ and the Woman of Samaria n.d.

This drawing by Jacob de Wit, a Dutch painter from the 18th century, depicts the biblical story of Christ and the Woman of Samaria. The artwork features Christ seated in a landscape, with the Woman of Samaria approaching him in the foreground. The woman's water jug lays on the ground at her feet, and the scene likely takes place near a well, as it is described in the Gospel of John. The composition is drawn with a simple, quick style using pen and ink, which creates a sense of immediacy and naturalism. The drawing is currently held at The Art Institute of Chicago.
