About this work

You see a winding road, a man tending another who’s been beaten, and a big tree in the middle. Tiny buildings dot the hills behind them. The story is from the Bible, but the artist made it feel like a quiet Dutch afternoon. The light on the leaves and the road pulls your eye deeper into the scene, almost like you could walk right in. Look up more quiet road scenes at the Rijksmuseum.
