About the piece
This 1699 painting captures the encounter between Christ and the Samaritan woman at the well. The scene is masterfully composed with towering classical columns and an ornate urn to the left, contrasting with a soft, distant landscape that leads the eye toward a European-style town. The figures are rendered with dramatic tonal contrast, characteristic of late 17th-century European art.
