"The Imprisoned Servant, from The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant," is an engraving from the 1585 book "Thesaurus Sacrarum historiarum Veteris et Novi Testamenti." This black and white image depicts the story of a servant who was imprisoned for owing money to his master. The scene is set in a prison with several figures; one man sits bound while others watch, highlighting the brutal reality of the story. It is thought to be part of a series of engravings on biblical themes, and as an anonymous piece, it showcases the popular artistic style of the late 16th century. The artwork can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
