About the piece
This masterful composition, often associated with the circle of Benvenuto Tisi (Il Garofalo), portrays the biblical meeting at Jacob's Well. The artwork features the rich, saturated colors of the late Renaissance and Mannerist periods, with figures set against a deep landscape that moves from a rustic village to a distant hazy fortress. The detailed rendering of the characters' expressions and the classical ornamentation of the well itself create a sophisticated narrative presence.
