Christ and the Woman of Samaria among Ruins

An etching showing a bearded man seated at left, in conversation with a woman who stands at a well on the right, holding a jar. Crumbling arches, a broken pillar and overgrown masonry frame the scene, and a small crowd gathers in the distance beside a ruined city.

Look closer: A small crowd of figures gathers in the distance beside the ruined city on the right.
