Marble statue of injured person leaning on another in Jardin des Tuileries.
Le Bon Samaritain (The Good Samaritain) is by François-Léon Sicard (1862 - 1934). He depicts the biblical story of a traveller who needed help, but everybody was walking by as he wore no clothes and no one was coming to his assistance. Finally a Samaritain came to his aide. Samaritains were looked down on, poor themselves. In his statue you can see the effort needed by the Samaritain to support the injured and naked victim.
Sicard finished his sculpture in 1896.
