Kristus og den samaritanske kvinde ved brønden 1686 - 1738

This red chalk drawing by Hendrik Krock depicts the biblical story of Christ and the Samaritan woman at the well. The scene takes place in a landscape with a well in the foreground and a city in the distance. Krock's drawing style is characterized by its careful rendering of figures and details, a distinctive feature of Baroque art. This piece, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, is a striking example of Krock's mastery of this technique. The drawing's composition and subject matter reflect the religious themes prevalent in 17th and 18th century art. Krock, a Danish artist, was known for his drawings and etchings, making this red chalk drawing a valuable glimpse into his artistic process.
