The Unmerciful Servant (The Parables of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ). Artist: After Sir John Everett Millais (British, Southampton 1829-1896 London). Dimensions: image: 5 1/2 x 4 5/16 in. (13.9 x 10.9 cm)sheet: 7 5/16 x 6 1/16 in. (18.6 x 15.4 cm). Engraver: Engraved and printed by Dalziel Brothers (British, active 1839-1893).

Finally, he reviewed proofs, and final adjustments were made before the final printing.The Parable of the U
