In this etching titled "Prodigal Son: Riotous Living" by Abraham Bosse, we are transported back to the year 1635, when the French artist skillfully depicted a powerful biblical narrative. The image portrays a pivotal moment in the parable of the prodigal son, as he indulges in a life of excess and debauchery. Bosse's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching technique.
