GRASSI, Nicola
(b. 1682, Formeaso, d. 1748, Venezia)

Rebecca at the Well

c. 1720
Oil on canvas, 120 x 155 cm
San Francesco della Vigna, Venice

The painting is one of a series of pastoral subjects from the Bible made by Grassi in the early stages of his career. They display a gentle Rococo gracefulness, as can be seen in Rebecca's elegant, mannered pose.
