The image depicts a black and white scene from "Return of the Prodigal Son" by Lucas van Leyden. A group of people in robes and cloaks stand on a rocky cliffside with a dog. The central figure, wearing a long robe and a hat, stands facing right with arms out. He appears to be embracing or greeting another man who stands facing him. The man on the right has a walking stick and appears to be barefoot. In the background, there are buildings and a body of water with trees and mountains. On the left side of the image, several people stand outside an ornate building with columns and arches. The sky above is cloudy. The entire scene is framed by a thin border.
