Christ and the Samaritan woman
Last third of the XVI century. Wash, Grey-brown ink, Pencil on yellow paper.Not on display
Two drawings of the subject, evidently variants of the same upright composition datable 1565-70, were formerly in the Suida Manning Collection and are now in the Jack S. Blanto Museum, the University of Texas. Neither is a good in quality as the Prado drawing.
