By the roadside a man bends to lift the wounded traveller onto his horse; the wounded man, his head bandaged and his chest bare, rests a hand on his rescuer’s shoulder. An opened chest lies at lower left, and further up the road a figure is seen from behind. Van Gogh had planned this copy after Delacroix since September 1889; in early May 1890 he wrote: “I’ve also attempted a copy of Delacroix’s Good Samaritan.”
