About the piece
Painted in 1681 by Pierre Mignard I, this masterwork captures the biblical dialogue between Christ and a Samaritan woman at the well. The composition is grounded by the heavy stone well, while the figures' vibrant robes of primary red, blue, and yellow create a striking visual contrast against the atmospheric landscape background.
