Aubusson Tapestry, Late 17th Century - Jesus And The Samaritan Woman - 2m35hx1m55w - No. 1547

In the New Testament, only the text of John (IV, 1-30) recounts the episode of the meeting of Jesus and the Samaritan woman. According to the tradition of Orthodox Christianity, this woman is called Photina the Samaritan. As Jesus, resting near a well on his return to Galilee, asks her for a drink, the Samaritan woman is surprised that he, a Jew, dares to ask her for water: the Jews despised the Samaritans and did not speak to them. Jesus replies that the water she draws does not quench thirst, but that the living water he gives becomes gushing forth and that whoever drinks from it will never thirst again. In keeping with tradition, this magnificent tapestry has undergone a thorough cleaning, the installation of a hand-sewn linen lining, and a careful inspection by our experts at the Galerie Lissier Artisan Workshop. It is now ready to adorn your interior.GALERIE LISSIERHouse founded in 1991MEMBER OF THE SYNDICAT NATIONAL DE SNCAOShowroom in Paris 7th: Tuesday to Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.Workshop for cleaning and restoration of tapestries and carpets: by appointment onlyGalerie Lissier is a French family business specializing in the purchase, sale, appraisal, cleaning, restoration and conservation of tapestries, carpets, kilims and antique, modern and contemporary textiles.
