Christ and the Woman of Samaria: an Arched Print

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene near a well with architectural and landscape details. The foreground shows a well with intricate masonry. One figure is leaning on the side of the well and another is standing beside it holding a large vessel. The lines are detailed, capturing fabric drapery and expressions. In the background, a group of figures and a horse are shown amidst lush trees, set against hilly architecture.
