Description
Follower of Adam Elsheimer,
German 1578-1610-
Christ and the Woman of Samaria;
oil on copper, 30.5 x 25.9 cm.
Provenance:
Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 14 October 1988, lot 100 (as 'Circle of William Kent').
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
The present work recalls Elsheimer's small-scale, delicately painted oils on copper, often depicting Biblical stories with figures in brightly-coloured robes in an Italianate landscape. Indeed, this composition is reminiscent of a small oil on copper by Elsheimer which sold at Lempertz, Cologne, on 20 May 2023, lot 2505, and his depiction of 'Saint Lawrence prepared for Martyrdom' in London's National Gallery [NG1014], particularly in the sensitively-painted drapery.
This scene is taken from the Gospel of John, in which a Samarian woman recounts her conversation with Christ at Jacob's Well, which leads her to convert and spread the news of Christ's divinity to her neighbours.
