About the piece

Executed in 1775, Benjamin West's portrayal of this biblical encounter exemplifies the grace of English neoclassical painting. The work balances delicate figurative detail with a rich interplay of color, from the woman's pearlescent white gown to the warm earth tones of the desert setting.
