"The Labourers in the Vineyard (The Parables of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ)" (1864) is a wood engraving by Sir John Everett Millais, depicting the biblical parable of the workers in the vineyard. The scene shows a group of laborers standing before a landowner, who is dressed in a long robe and holds a staff. The laborers are bare-chested, and the figure on the left is touching the landowner's robe. Millais's precise detail and focus on human figures are characteristic of his Pre-Raphaelite style, and this print is a testament to his talent. The scene was created for an illustrated edition of the Bible that was published in 1864.
