The Prodigal Son Receiving His Patrimony

Amerikanische Grafik 1765–1814, 1814

The image shows three men indoors. The first man is seated in a red ornate armchair, with white hair and a serious expression, dressed in a blue coat, white shirt, and tan pants. The second man stands in the center, with reddish hair, a neutral expression, and wearing a brown coat, bright yellow vest, and white shirt. The third man sits on the right, leaning over a green table with dark hair tied back, dressed similarly to the others. On the table are stacks of coins and a ledger. The background has a bookshelf with orange-bound books, a globe, a window with a tree, a clock, and an ornate carpet.
