Christ and the Woman of Samaria

Amerikanische Malerei 1720–1765, c. 1720/1740

The image shows two individuals near a well. One person is standing holding a pitcher in her right hand, while the other is seated on the well's edge. The standing woman has fair skin, a round face, long dark hair tied back, and is wearing a golden yellow dress with a blue underskirt and red shoes. The seated person has long dark hair, a beard, and is wearing a light blue robe. Above the well, there is a pulley with a rope. In the background, there are trees on either side, and in the distance, houses and rolling hills are visible under a blue sky with soft brushstrokes indicating distant clouds.
