This painting captures the transformative encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well, as told in the Gospel of John (John 4:4–26). In this moment, Jesus breaks social and cultural barriers by speaking to a Samaritan woman — someone viewed as an outsider — and offers her “living water.”

The well symbolizes both physical and spiritual thirst, while the warm tones of the landscape evoke renewal and grace. Through their conversation, Jesus reveals Himself as the Messiah for the first time publicly, inviting her into a new life of faith and purpose.

This encounter reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God’s love, and that His living water continues to refresh the hearts of all who seek Him.
