The Parable of the Good Samaritan: The Good Samaritan Putting the Traveler on His Donkey

Heinrich Aldegrever

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black-and-white drawing of a man with a turban and white beard lifting another man onto a donkey. The man with the beard wears a long-sleeved tunic and overgarment; he faces right. The man on the donkey wears a cloak over a tunic; only his back and top of his head are visible. The donkey's head is turned toward the foreground. A bucket sits on the ground in front of them. In the background, buildings line a street with trees. People and another donkey are in the distance. The image includes a Latin inscription along the bottom.
