Burin engravings. At the bottom right is the name of the engraver, with the addition of the name of the collaborator who finished the work, Duthé. Below are the titles of the two genre scenes, "La débauche" (debauchery) and "La ruine" (ruin): they are part of a series of six prints that tell, with a nineteenth-century setting, the Gospel parable of Prodigal Son; the other four tables in fact describe the moments of departure, misery, repentance and forgiveness. The engravings are presented in beautiful Empire-style frames, from the early 1900s.
