This 1629 etching by Dutch artist Christoffel van (II) Sichem depicts the biblical parable of the prodigal son. The scene portrays the moment the prodigal son returns home to his father, who welcomes him with open arms. The intricate details of the engraving, including the architectural setting, the figures' clothing, and the expressions on their faces, contribute to the emotional depth of the narrative. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Sichem's mastery of the etching technique and his ability to bring biblical stories to life.
