Christ and the Woman of Samaria: an Arched Print

About this work

This etching depicts a scene from the Bible, with Jesus and a woman standing by a well. The woman is holding a bucket, and Jesus is leaning against the well, looking at her. In the background, there are trees and buildings, with people walking in the distance. The scene is rendered in intricate detail, with delicate lines and shading that create a sense of depth and texture. The figures of Jesus and the woman are central to the composition, with the well and surrounding landscape serving as a backdrop for their interaction. The use of etching and drypoint techniques creates a sense of intimacy and subtlety, drawing the viewer's eye to the quiet moment between Jesus and the woman.
