Lucas Cranach the Elder

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene at a well. The image depicts two figures standing by a well, one on each side. The well has detailed stonework patterns on its surface, a large covered roof, and a pulley mechanism with a bucket being held by one of the figures. The environment around the well shows trees and foliage. In the background, there is a distant landscape with a silhouetted castle or tower. The detailed linework and shading bring texture to the scene, emphasizing the features of the clothing worn by the figures and the materials of the well.
