The parable of the Good Samaritan is a parable told by Jesus and is mentioned in only one of the gospels of the New Testament. According to the Gospel of Luke (10:25–37) a traveler (who may or may not have been a Jew) is stripped of clothing, beaten, and left half dead along the road. First a priest and then a Levite come by, but both avoid the man. Finally, a Samaritan comes by. Samaritans and Jews generally despised each other, but the Samaritan helps the injured man. Jesus is described as telling the parable in response to the question from a lawyer, " And who is my neighbor?" whom Leviticus 19:18 says should be loved. Jesus answers him his question in who is his neighbor, but also tells him to love his neighbor. His answer corresponds to his words the Gospel of Matthew 5:43-48, to love his enemy. In this drawing, the Samaritan is depicted in the foreground, while the two men who have passed by the traveler are in the background. From the series of drawings that Lichtblau did for America Magazine, c. 1991. Ink on paper. Info on magazine issue lower left, signed lower right.

Born in Vienna in 1925, Charlotte Lichtblau came to the United States in 1940 with her parents and sister. She lived and worked in New York City from 1953. Following her emigration to America, she returned repeatedly to Austria, primarily to Vienna and to her childhood summer home in Altaussee, in Austria’s Salzkammergut region. For more than five decades, Lichtblau exhibited her works in galleries, museums, universities, and churches in New York City and throughout the United States. She has had two major career retrospective exhibitions in Austria, one at the Palais Palffy in Vienna (1994) and the second in the Pfarrheim Arts Center in Bad Aussee, near Altaussee (2002). For the artist, the discipline of painting is a way of exploring, expressing and communicating the passion of human existence. A significant portion of her work is focused on biblical themes, most notably the Passion of Christ. Here, the visual transformation into imagery addresses familiar religious themes internally and directly. While her paintings of religious subjects are boldly contemporary, they honor both the history of ecclesiastical imagery and the artistic traditions of German Expressionist painting. A planned career retrospective in 2000 led to the publication of Origin and Transformation: Life and Art of the Painter Charlotte Lichtblau by Albert Lichtblau, who is no relation to the artist. Her paintings were published in Fr. Patrick Ryan’s books "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross: Scriptural Reflections for Lent" (1989) and "The Coming of Our God: Scriptural Reflections for Advent, Christmas and Epiphany" (1999). For more than four years, she had drawings published weekly in America Magazine. Lichtblau was an art critic, as well, writing for The Philadelphia Inquirer, New York Herald Tribune, Arts Magazine, and other publications. Her collected reviews are archived at the Smithsonian Institution. Charlotte Lichtblau’s work is represented in museums and private collections across the United States and Europe. Charlotte Lichtblau died in New York City, December, 2013.
