Louis Laguerre (Versailles, 1663 - London, 1721) "Meeting of the Samaritan Photina and Jesus at Jacob's Well". Oil on canvas H. 36.5 cm; W. 31 cm Contemporary engraving after the painting by John Simon (1675?-1751) British Museum London Expertise Francois Marandet, London, October 15, 2024. The painting was considered lost and had only come down to us in the form of a contemporary engraving by John Simon (1675? -1751). By a happy coincidence, it was rediscovered in a private German collection. The importance of Laguerre's painting had already been recognized during the latter's lifetime, otherwise Simon would not have made an engraving after the painting. Inv. No. 0.662 €4,800
