The Prodigal Son by Hans Sebald Beham depicts a black and white scene of a man in a robe and hat handing something to another man crouched down. The standing man on the left wears a robe and a hat and holds an object in his right hand, appearing to hand it to the crouched man. The man on the right crouches, holding a stick; he wears a hat and a robe with fur trim on the boots and sleeves. A third man stands in an archway to the left, looking on; the man in the archway wears armor and a sword. The background contains a castle, trees, houses on a hillside, and a cloudy sky. The image is framed by a border with text along the top.
