About this work
The prodigal son returns home and kneels before his father, who embraces him. His brothers bring him clean clothes and a ring. To the right the parental home where a feast meal is given on the porch. Letters stand next to various elements of the scene. Above the image a title. Below it six lines of verse and a reference to Luke 15: 17-21. The print is part of an album.
