The Rich Man, Lazarus, and Abraham

The rich man, Lazarus, and Abraham are presented as layered portrait studies from Jesus’ parable in Luke 16. A wealthy man stands in an expensive fur-like garment with folded hands, while a rough-clothed, bearded poor man looks toward him in need. A gray-haired elder evokes Abraham, the patriarch named in the parable as the one who receives Lazarus after death. The composition focuses on the moral contrast at the heart of the teaching: earthly privilege without mercy leads to judgment, while the suffering poor are not forgotten by God. This artwork serves well for lessons on compassion, stewardship, repentance, eternity, and the warning Jesus gives about ignoring Moses and the Prophets.
