Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, a master of the Spanish Baroque, captures the moment Eliezer, the servant of Abraham, asks for water. Rebecca, shown with a calm and graceful demeanour, offers him a drink from her vessel. The composition is structured around the stone well, which acts as the physical and narrative centre of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMurillo employs a soft, atmospheric light that defines the figures and their interaction. The palette consists of earthy tones, including ochre, deep red, and muted blues, which ground the figures in their environment. The artist pays close attention to the textures of the ceramic water jars and the folds of the garments, demonstrating his ability to render everyday objects with clarity. In the background, the inclusion of camels and other figures provides context for the journey undertaken by Eliezer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the more dramatic or tenebrist works of his contemporaries, Murillo here opts for a gentle, humanised approach to a sacred narrative. The interaction is quiet and domestic, reflecting the artist's preference for naturalism and emotional accessibility. The figures are rendered with soft edges and a fluid brushwork that creates a sense of warmth. This work is characteristic of Murillo's mid-career output, where he balanced religious themes with a focus on the daily lives of his subjects. The painting remains a fine example of the Sevillian school of painting, showcasing the artist's skill in balancing narrative clarity with painterly technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/marriage-at-cana-mattia-preti\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMarriage at Cana by Mattia Preti\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/jesus-christ-in-the-house-of-martha-and-mary-giorgio-vasari\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJesus Christ in the House of Martha and Mary by Giorgio Vasari\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bartolomé Esteban Murillo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59485368189263,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59485368222031,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59485368254799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59485368287567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59485368320335,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59485368353103,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59485368385871,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59485368418639,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59485368451407,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59485368484175,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59485368516943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59485368549711,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Rebecca-and-Eliezer_Poster_CompositorV1_1794535731234.jpg?v=1794535760","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/it\/products\/rebecca-and-eliezer-bartolome-esteban-murillo","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
