The Good Samaritan

About this work

This print shows a man lying on the ground, half-naked and injured, while another man kneels beside him, tending to his wounds. A horse stands nearby, and a woman in a long dress watches from a hill in the background. The scene is set in a rocky, wooded landscape under a sky full of dramatic clouds. The title at the bottom calls it *The Good Samaritan*, a story about helping strangers. The artist used fine lines to create deep shadows and texture, making the scene feel urgent and emotional. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints with acid and metal plates.
