Tin-glazed earthenware tile painted in cobalt blue, set within a later brass frame with decorative paw feet at each corner. The central scene depicts a figure—strikingly rendered with a bearded face and feminine attire—drawing water from a well amid a simple pastoral landscape. The unusual iconography is framed within a sparse but expressive composition, with curling flora and stylized rocks occupying the lower foreground.
The surface of the tile shows typical craquelure and visible age-related hairline cracks, consistent with period Delftware. The framing is likely early 20th century and functions as both protection and display support.
