Christ and the Samaritan Woman

Christ and the Samaritan Woman, a painting by Alessandro Magnasco, created between 1705 and 1710. 



The artwork depicts a scene at a well, set within the ruins of an ancient structure. A woman, possibly the Samaritan woman, is actively drawing water from the well using a pulley system. A man, likely Christ, sits nearby, appearing contemplative. Other figures are visible in the background, partially obscured within the ruins. A palm tree is prominently featured, adding to the overall atmosphere of the scene. The painting's style is characterized by dark tones and a dramatic use of light and shadow, typical of Magnasco's work. The size of the artwork is not provided in the metadata.
