Antique Gustave Doré Engraving Christ & Samaritan Woman Steel Plate c. 1870
Antique 19th-Century Gustave Doré Steel Engraving. Offered here is an original antique steel engraving after Gustave Doré, depicting Christ and the Samaritan Woman at the Well (John 4). This is a genuine 19th-century plate removed from a deluxe Doré Bible edition, not a modern reproduction. The engraving shows Christ seated beside Jacob’s well speaking with the Samaritan woman, rendered with Doré’s characteristic dramatic line work, expressive drapery, and luminous haloed figure of Christ. The image displays crisp, fine engraving lines and strong contrast. Artist: Gustave Doré (after). Christ and the Samaritan Woman at the Well. Paper: Original 19th-century laid paper. Plate mark: Visible on all sides. Image area is clean and well-defined. Light to moderate age toning and foxing in margins. Minor edge and corner wear consistent with age. No tears, no losses into image, no water damage observed. Overall condition is Very Good for a 19th-century engraving. This piece would frame beautifully and is suitable for collectors of Doré, antique religious art, or 19th-century Bible illustration.
