Black and white drawing of a man on his knees with his head down; he holds a long-handled tool, possibly a shovel or hoe. He wears a simple tunic or shirt and pants. The man is positioned in a yard-like setting with a wooden fence and gate; a building with a gable roof is on the right. In the background, there are stone walls and a cloudy sky. The drawing is outlined by a thick border. The background paper appears to be textured and aged. The drawing depicts 'The Prodigal Son' and is by Charles de Sousy Ricketts.
