The Good Samaritan

Gustave Moreau

Cleveland Museum of Art

A painting titled "The Good Samaritan" by Gustave Moreau depicting a man in a red robe and gold head covering bending toward a nearly nude man; the man in red holds a staff in the left hand. A donkey with a reddish-brown saddle stands behind the two men. The background shows a hazy sky and distant mountains. The painting is framed with a thin black line inside a thicker white border, with a subtle decorative pattern along the right edge of the white border. The color palette includes shades of red, gold, brown, gray, and blue. The scene is set in a desert-like environment.
