The woman at the well


The Gospel for Sunday is the story about Jesus and the woman at the well  (John 4:1-26). This is my attempt at a portrait of the woman at the well. At least, this is a portrait of an Arab woman, and the woman at the well might have looked like this. I think of her as mysterious, sensuous, and distant. But there are a lot of ways to imagine her. Perhaps she was older, worldy-wise, and cynical? Burned-out, wrinkled, and jaded? It's all up to your imagination.
