The Prodigal Son Bids Farewell to His Father

Theodoor van Thulden after Sir Peter Paul Rubens

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of figures in an architectural setting featuring a horse. The drawing shows a central figure on horseback who is being addressed by another figure in robes while other figures stand around observing the interaction. The architecture in the background includes a grand archway and a window with a third figure looking out. The horse is elaborately saddled and appears in mid-step. The scene also includes textures in the clothing, masonry, and sky, contributing to the overall depth and dynamism of the composition.
