Horace Pepin, Christ and the Woman of Samaria, 1940

by Atelier Liesjes

From John 4: The Lord Jesus heard that the Pharisees had heard that He was making and baptizing more disciples than John. (By the way, He did not baptize Himself, but had His disciples do so.) Therefore, He left Judea and went back to Galilee. In doing so, He had to pass through the region of Samaria. He came to a city in Samaria called Sichar. That city was close to the piece of land that Jacob had once given to his son Joseph. There was also Jacob's well there. Jesus was tired from the journey and sat down by the well. It was then about noon.

A Samaritan woman came to get water at the well. Jesus said to her, "Will you give Me something to drink,"

Here is the picture of the woman with Jesus Christ at the well.

Horace Pippin (Feb. 22, 1888 - July 6, 1946) was a self-taught American artist who painted a range of themes, including scenes inspired by landscapes, portraits and biblical subjects. Some of his best-known works deal with the American history of slavery and racial segregation. He was the first black artist to be the subject of a monograph, and the New York Times praised him as the most important black painter in American history.
