Augustin Braun’s pen-and-ink drawing "The Prodigal Son Squanders his Fortune with Prostitutes" (1585-1639) depicts a scene from the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son, where he is shown in a tavern, surrounded by revelers and prostitutes, squandering his inheritance. This intricate drawing illustrates the themes of sin and repentance and showcases Braun's skillful use of line and detail to capture the energy and decadence of the scene. The work is a fine example of German Renaissance art and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
