About this work

This etching depicts a scene from the Bible, with Jesus sitting on a well and speaking to a woman. The woman, dressed in a long robe, is leaning on the well, engaged in conversation with Jesus. In the background, a group of people are gathered, watching the interaction between Jesus and the woman. The scene is set in a rural landscape, with trees and hills visible in the distance. The level of detail in the etching is impressive, with intricate lines and shading used to create a sense of depth and texture.
