The Good Samaritan by Alphonse Legros: A grayscale etching depicting a man sitting on the ground with his back against a donkey, supporting another man on his lap. The sitting man wears a tunic and has bare feet, with one leg bent and the other stretched out. The man on his lap appears to be injured or ill, with his body slumped and one arm hanging down. The donkey stands behind them, with its head lowered. In the background, there are trees and bushes, and the sky above is filled with diagonal lines suggesting movement or wind. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
