In the context of this artwork, discuss the Biblical reference of the Description.
Based on the events chronicled in the Gospel of John, Chapter 4, Christ meets a Samaritan woman at a well. He asks her for a drink, and the woman is surprised, because Jews and Samaritans do not normally associate with one another. Jesus then speaks of the living water, the water which will satisfy all thirst, and tells her that He is the Messiah. This story emphasizes unity amongst those of different backgrounds.
