This is an etching or an engraving depicting a rustic scene. In the foreground, there is a large horse standing next to a young boy, who appears to be engaging with the horse. To the right of the horse, there's a dog sitting on the ground, looking towards the left where the horse and boy are. The setting seems to be in a countryside environment with trees and possibly a building in the distance. Architectural elements such as a staircase, an archway, and a broken column are also visible in the scene, suggesting a setting with old or classical ruins. The attire of the figures and the style of the etching indicate a period scene, possibly dated to the time indicated at the bottom of the image, 1653. The inscription at the bottom also attributes the work to "Rembrandt inventor et fecit."

The image is a painting by Rembrandt, titled 'The Good Samaritan,' created in 1633. It depicts a scene from the New Testament, where a traveler is attacked and robbed by thieves, and a Samaritan comes to his aid. The painting showcases Rembrandt's mastery of light and shadow, with the Samaritan's face illuminated by a lantern, while the other figures are cast in shadow, highlighting the contrast between good and evil. The scene is set against a backdrop of a desert landscape, emphasizing the isolation and vulnerability of the traveler. The painting is notable for its emotional depth and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures.
