The Parable of the Prodigal Son

The history of the prodigal son. The central scene shows the Prodigal Son squandering his inheritance in a brothel with women, music, food, and drink. On the left at the table, a man with a lute. On the right, the Prodigal Son with his arm around a woman at the edge of a bed. On the table are pies and oysters; playing cards lie on the floor. A woman pours wine into roemers. Birds are being roasted on a spit before the fireplace. On the wall, a painting of Jupiter and Danaë. Surrounding this are eight scenes of the other episodes from the parable.
