Christ and the Samaritan woman at the well, French School oil on canvas, 18th century, sold unframed
The painting shown to scale on a pale wall above a low chest
She holds the vessel on the rim of the well with both hands while he speaks
The relined canvas on its stretcher, the crossbars and corner wedges in place
The round well of dressed stone, with the mass of trees closing the composition behind it
Rose over deep blue, his hand raised in speech and both feet bare on the ground
Yellow gown over a white shift, a veil on the head, the earthenware vessel held at the rim
A stream running down through rough grass, with blue hills beyond it
Pale gold and rose breaking through banks of grey cloud
The full composition edge to edge, the figures small within the landscape
The land opening out to the left, where two thirds of the canvas is landscape

French School, 18th century
Christ and the Samaritan Woman at the Well
Oil on canvas

Unsigned. 22 ¾ x 28 ¾ inches (58 x 73 cm), unframed. Relined, flat and sound, with a fine age craquelure.

The well stands near the center, and neither figure does. The Samaritan woman is at the left in a yellow gown over a white shift, a veil on her head, holding her vessel on the rim with both hands. Christ sits on the right in a rose robe and a deep blue mantle, one hand raised as he speaks, his feet bare.

Tall trees rise behind them and close the right side. To the left the land opens out, a stream running down through rough grass toward the foreground and blue hills in the far distance. Above them the sky is pale gold and rose where the light breaks through banks of grey cloud, and the two figures are small within it all.

Note

The Gospel of John gives the meeting an hour. Jesus, tired from the road, sits down by Jacob's well at about the sixth hour, which is noon, and a woman of Samaria comes out alone to draw water in the full heat of the day. This painter did not keep to it. Here the sun is low, the sky behind the trees has gone gold and rose, and the light falls sideways across the woman's yellow gown.

GoodThis painting

Stable. Signs of age or earlier restoration are visible on close inspection, such as small retouches or a slightly yellowed varnish. The overall appearance is intact.

Other grades

Very good

Stable. Only minor, old retouches or very small losses, not distracting at normal viewing distance. The canvas may have been relined or cleaned in the past.

Fair

Stable and ready to hang, but wear or earlier restoration is noticeable at normal viewing distance, such as visible retouching, a discoloured varnish or scattered small losses.

Needs conservation

Visible damage a conservator should treat, such as flaking, a tear, larger losses or heavy old repaint. Every issue is shown in the photographs.
