About this work

The priest and the Levite walk along a forest path and look at the wounded naked traveler lying by the side of the road. They offer no help. From the forest approaches the Good Samaritan on a donkey. In the distance a city. Below the image a two-line text in Latin from Luke 10 and a six-line verse in German.
