The Prodigal Son Squandering His Inheritance

The prodigal son squanders his inheritance at the women of easy virtue. He is entertained in a pleasure garden with music and well-disposed ladies. In the foreground he dances with a woman. On the ground lie playing cards and to the right a woman holds the tally stick. In the background the prodigal son, after the money is gone, is chased out of the inn or brothel. Letters stand at different elements of the subject. The subject is here possibly used as an image of the feasting and sinful people of Nineveh. This print forms part of an album.
