About this work

The Prodigal Son squanders his inheritance in a brothel. Seven women attend to him, make music for him, and bring him food and drink. On the right, through the window, it can be seen how the Prodigal Son arrives; on the left, it can be seen how, after the money is gone, the door is shown to him.
