The Prodigal Son Revelling with Harlotsy

Amerikanische Grafik 1765–1814, 1814

The image depicts a group of people seated around a circular table in a lively setting. The central figure is a young man in a green coat and brown pants, holding a glass as he leans on a woman in a green dress with a yellow scarf. Another woman in a yellow dress with a feathered hat sits to the right. A woman stands behind the table holding a glass and conversing. On the left, a man in a blue jacket and shorts with white stockings leans back in his chair holding a glass aloft. The characters have expressive facial features and varied hairstyles and attire. The table is set with glasses, bottles of red wine, and a platter of fruit. The background features a textured, wallpapered wall with an oval mirror, two sconces, a window showing a countryside scene, and a carpeted floor with a floral-patterned rug.
