This print shows two figures by a stone well. The man sits on the edge, dressed in a long robe with a halo around his head. He leans forward, talking to a woman standing beside the well, who holds a bucket in one hand and a cloth over her shoulder. The background has trees, a distant town, and a soft sky. The woman’s posture and the man’s gesture suggest a quiet conversation. The print uses strong contrasts between light and dark to shape the figures and setting. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this work in person.
