Den fortabte søn hos svinene, stående, med hånden hvilende på en træstub. Et svin læner sig op ad ham 1861

"Den fortabte søn hos svinene, stående, med hånden hvilende på en træstub. Et svin læner sig op ad ham" is a sculpture by Danish artist O. Evens, created in 1861 and housed at the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst. This small sculpture, measuring just 21 cm in height, depicts a poignant moment from the biblical parable of the prodigal son. The sculpture captures the son's dejected state, standing among the pigs, his hand resting on a tree stump. The realistic rendering of the figure and the pig leaning against him adds a sense of pathos and invites viewers to reflect on themes of redemption and forgiveness.
