Vrouw met emmer (de Samaritaanse vrouw?) c. 1650 - 1700

"Vrouw met emmer (de Samaritaanse vrouw?)" (Woman with a bucket (the Samaritan woman?)), a c. 1650 - 1700 etching by Frederick Bloemaert, depicts a woman carrying a pitcher, possibly referencing the biblical tale of the Samaritan woman at the well. The artwork is a fine example of Dutch Baroque etching style, capturing a moment of quiet contemplation. The detailed rendering of the woman's drapery and the delicate lines of her features contribute to the piece's serene and contemplative atmosphere. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Bloemaert's skill in conveying narrative through visual means.
