Christ and the Woman of Samaria
by SANTACROCE, Girolamo da, Oil on panel, 25 x 35 cm
Another version of Santacroce’s Christ and the Woman of Samaria, of almost identical dimensions, can be found in the Museo Borgogna, Vercelli along with a pendant, Noli me tangere, begging the question whether the present painting may also have initially formed part of a pair.
