Created in 1882, this work is part of Tissot's L'Enfant Prodigue series, which interprets the Biblical parable through Victorian-era imagery. The composition depicts a gathering of figures surrounding a fatted calf, rendered with intricate linework and tonal shading. This second-state etching is from an edition of 400, printed on laid paper with Biblical passages beneath the illustration. It is signed and dated in the plate J. J. Tissot/1881 and is documented as Wentworth 61. The artwork is presented in an ornate gold-tone frame with decorative floral corner accents and ivory-colored matting. It is in good condition with visible and minimal wear from usage, including minor scuffs and wear to the frame's gilding. See less
