This charcoal drawing, "The Good Samaritan," by Austrian artist Paul Troger depicts a scene from the Gospel of Luke. The Good Samaritan is helping an injured man, while a donkey rests in the foreground. Troger was known for his detailed drawings and this work showcases his mastery of this technique. The drawing, held at the Städel Museum, is a study for a larger painting on the same subject. "The Good Samaritan" is a popular motif in art history and is a powerful reminder of compassion and empathy.
