"The Good Samaritan" is an etching by French artist Rodolphe Bresdin (1822–1885), also known as Chien-Caillou. Bresdin was known for his intricate, fantastical works and his influence on later artists such as Odilon Redon. This particular work, created in the 19th century, depicts the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan from the Gospel of Luke, in which a Samaritan helps a traveler who has been stripped of clothing, beaten, and left half dead alongside the road.

Bresdin's interpretation of "The Good Samaritan" is characterized by its fine detail and rich texture, a hallmark of his printmaking style. The etching likely reflects Bresdin's interest in themes of compassion and human kindness, set against a backdrop of his own experiences of poverty and struggle. The composition is filled with the dense, intricate lines that are typical of Bresdin's work, creating a sense of depth and complexity that invites close examination.

The artwork serves as an example of Bresdin's mastery of the intaglio process, where he would incise a design onto a metal plate, which was then inked and pressed onto paper to create the image. His works are often noted for their dreamlike quality and the blending of reality with fantasy, elements that can also be discerned in "The Good Samaritan."

"The Good Samaritan" by Rodolphe Bresdin is not only a representation of a well-known biblical story but also an embodiment of the artist's unique style and his contributions to the graphic arts. Bresdin's work, including this etching, has been recognized for its originality and has earned him a place among the notable printmakers of the 19th century.
