The Prodigal Son by Albrecht Dürer: A man kneels on the ground, surrounded by pigs and piglets. He wears a loose-fitting shirt and pants, with a belt around his waist. The man has long, curly hair and faces right, looking away. He holds a bowl in his right hand. Pigs and piglets are eating from a trough and the ground. A large pig stands to the right, and a smaller one to the left. In the background, several buildings with steeply pitched roofs are visible. The buildings appear to be made of stone or brick and have wooden doors and windows. A tree is visible in the distance. The scene is depicted in black and white.
