About this work
The oldest brother of the prodigal son returns from working in the fields and, upon hearing from a servant on the bridge to the left that his brother has returned, is angry at the festive reception given to his brother, who has squandered all his money. The father calms the anger of the eldest son. Below the depiction is an explanatory text in Latin. This print is part of an album.
