Rembrandt Christ and the Woman of Samaria, Among Ruins, 1634 is an intriguing account of an old Bible tale from the New Testament. He is shown here with the woman in a fascinating landscape of stone ruins which extend into the background and beyond. They are captured in the midst of burgeoning conversation as she gestures with her hands and Jesus intently listens on.

A Nowell-Usticke intermediate State II (of IV) impression; White and Boon’s State II (of II); Hind’s State II (of II). This work is stated by Nowell-Usticke to be an uncommon work with approximately 125-225 known impressions (Nowell-Usticke, B 71).
