The Prodigal Son: Dressing for the Feast

Abraham Bosse

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white engraving scene. A man with long curly hair and a mustache stands in the center. He wears a shirt with billowy sleeves, loose-fitting pants with cuffs at the bottom, knee-high socks, and low-heeled shoes. A dark cape or coat hangs on his back. He hugs another man, dressed in a distinctive hat. A woman on the left wears a low-necked dress with puffed sleeves and a skirt gathered below her waist. A man on the left, wearing a hat and a cloak sits on a chair. A large window features multiple panes behind the figures. A column on the right with a base and a simple capital stands on a raised platform. The room has a tiled floor, and in the background, people are outside. The engraving features intricate details and ornamentation on its border.
