Christ and the Woman of Samaria

Deutsche Grafik 1483–1490, probablement 1485

This is a painting of a historical scene at a well. The image depicts two figures engaged in activity by a well situated in a pastoral setting. One figure is drawing water using a wooden bucket attached to a pulley system from the stone-constructed well. The other figure is seated next to the well. Behind them, a rolling landscape unfolds, with a hill, buildings, and towers in the distance under a softly colored sky. The colors are warm and earthy with shades of green, brown, and yellow dominating the palette.
