About this work
The prodigal son squanders his inheritance in a brothel. In a garden he is embraced by a prostitute. Another woman fills his glass. On the left a dancing woman with tambourines and on the right an orchestra. Behind the prodigal son stands a jester. Below the scene, a Latin reference to the Biblical text in Luke 15:13.
