Drawing of a Christian helping his own assailant

Accepted answer

There are likely many drawings of similar content, but I suspect by far the most famous one is this drawing of Dirk Willems, which was published in the book Martyrs Mirror in 1685.

It illustrates the true story of Dirk Willems who had escaped from prison (where he was being persecuted for his faith), but when his persuer broke through some thin ice, Dirk turned around to rescue his persuer, only to be taken back into custody then killed for his faith in 1569.
