Christus en de Samaritaanse vrouw 1673 - 1695

"Christus en de Samaritaanse vrouw" (Christ and the Samaritan Woman), a 17th-century etching by Adam Perelle, depicts the biblical story of Jesus' encounter with a woman at Jacob's Well. Perelle, a Dutch artist known for his detailed and realistic style, captures the scene's simplicity and solemnity. The composition focuses on the interaction between Christ, seated on a low wall, and the woman, standing nearby, holding a pitcher. The surrounding landscape, with its architecture and trees, provides a peaceful backdrop for the central figures, enhancing the spiritual atmosphere of the work.
