The Prodigal Son Receiving His Portion by Henry R. Robinson

Robinson, Henry R. · 1840

This colored print is an interior scene depicting an older man, seated in an armchair with his foot on a foot stool handing a bag of money to his son standing before him. The room is well-appointed with three framed paintings on the wall. The men are wearing tightly tailored coats and trousers as was the fashion of the era. A servant carries a trunk to a doorway outside of which a carriage awaits.
