"Ziet kindren! voor uw oog vertoond, / Hoe somtijds 't medelijden woont […]" (See children! Before your eyes it is shown, / How sometimes compassion lives […]) is a 19th-century Dutch wood-engraving by Johannes Bouwer. This artwork is a series of panels illustrating the Parable of the Good Samaritan, a story told by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. The parable teaches about the importance of showing compassion to those in need, regardless of their background. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, and it showcases Bouwer's detailed skill in depicting the story's progression and themes of compassion and mercy.
