"Jesus and the Woman of Samaria" is an artwork by Gustave Doré, a French artist, printmaker, illustrator, and sculptor known for his elaborate engravings. This particular piece depicts a scene from the Christian Bible, specifically from the Gospel of John, chapter 4, verses 4–26. In this passage, Jesus, while traveling through Samaria, stops at Jacob's Well near the town of Sychar. There, he encounters a Samaritan woman and engages in a significant conversation with her, breaking with the social norms of the time that discouraged interaction between Jews and Samaritans, as well as between men and women in public settings.

Doré's illustration captures the moment of this profound encounter, showcasing his mastery of dramatic lighting and intricate detail. The artwork is part of Doré's larger body of work that includes illustrations for the Bible, which were first published in 1866 in France and became one of the most popular sets of Bible illustrations ever produced. His works are characterized by their grand scale and epic nature, often conveying the spiritual and moral themes of the narratives they depict.

"Jesus and the Woman of Samaria" reflects Doré's ability to convey complex theological and social themes through his art. The composition of the piece, the expressions of the characters, and the use of light and shadow all serve to highlight the significance of the encounter and the breaking of cultural barriers. Doré's illustrations have had a lasting impact on the visual culture of biblical stories, influencing how such scenes are imagined and understood by subsequent generations.

As an artist, Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was prolific and versatile, working across various mediums and genres throughout his career. His illustrations for literary works, including Dante's "Divine Comedy," Cervantes's "Don Quixote," and Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," have also garnered critical acclaim and remain influential. "Jesus and the Woman of Samaria" is a testament to Doré's enduring legacy as an illustrator who could evoke the depth and emotion of narrative moments through his art.
