Emilian School, 17th Century, Rebecca At The Well

Emilian school, 17th century
Rebecca at the well
Oil on canvas, cm 76 x 58
Upon the death of his wife Sarah, Abraham decides to seek a wife for his son Isaac. Therefore, he sends his servant Eliezer to Mesopotamia, their homeland, in search of a young woman to give him in marriage who had the same roots. During a stop at the well of the city of Arran, Eliezer meets a young woman named Rebecca who does not hesitate to offer him water from her amphora. Abraham’s servant understands that this is the girl sent by the Lord and offers her jewels as a pledge of marriage with Isaac. 
The painting in question stages the biblical story (Genesis 22,23) in the shadow of the branches of a tree. Placed at the center of the canvas is Rebecca, dressed in a long blue robe and a mauve-colored drape, while she rests her amphora on the edge of the well. In the background, buy another woman who is intrigued by the scene, probably lingering on Eliazer who does not appear in the painting. 
The elegant movements of the figure with the head gently bent, the rendering of the complexions, the silkiness of the color, the preciousness of the chromatic range make it plausible to place the painting in the Emilian painting.
