About this work

This painting shows Christ talking to a Samaritan woman by a well. The woman wears a white headscarf and holds a jug. Jesus sits beside her with calm focus. The scene comes from a Bible story where Jesus offers "living water." The artist uses soft light to make the moment feel quiet and real. Check out more quiet Bible scenes by Marullo, Giuseppe.
