The Return of the Prodigal Son
An elderly bearded man in a red cloak rests his hands on the head of a kneeling young man in tattered, pale garments. Onlookers stand and sit in the shadowy background, including a bearded man in a turban holding a staff at right, in a warm, dark oil painting lit on the central figures.
