The Good Samaritan tends to the wounds of the traveller attacked by robbers. In the background, the priest can be seen leaving the man by the side of the road without helping him. The print is an illustration for the New Testament, Luke 10, 30. Below the image, the title is shown in Greek, English, German, Latin, French and Dutch. The print was used in the following books: Figures de la Bible (Amsterdam: Bernard Picart, 1720) and Taferelen der voornaamste geschiedenissen van het Oude en Nieuwe Testament [...] door de vermaarde kunstenaars Hoet, Houbraken, en Picart getekent [...] en met beschrijvingen uitgebreid (The Hague: Pieter de Hondt, 1728).
