The Good Samaritan Ministering to the Traveler

Heinrich Aldegrever

National Gallery of Art

This is an illustration of two men in a rugged landscape. One man is tending to the other, who appears injured and is lying on the ground. Surrounding them are rocks and trees, with a third figure walking away. The detailed drawing showcases textures such as rocks, fabric, and leaves. In the background, a cityscape is nestled between hills.
