The Prodigal Son (2nd Plate)

Alphonse Legros

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white drawing of a man kneeling in a forest. The man is on the left side, with his head bowed and his hands on the ground. He appears to be shirtless and wearing pants. A long stick or staff is positioned behind his back. The forest floor and background are filled with trees, bushes, and other foliage. In the background, there are buildings visible through the trees. The drawing is signed in the bottom-right corner. The image has a rectangular border around it. The overall atmosphere suggests a somber or contemplative scene.
