Description[edit | edit source]
"(...) they turn to look at Jesus who has sat on a low wall exposed to the sun near the lower and wide edge of a well. A large well, almost a cistern, so wide it is. In summer it must be shaded by large trees, now leafless. The water is not visible, but the ground near the well clearly shows water has been drawn because of the small puddles and the circular marks left by moist pitchers."[1]
