This richly colored Byzantine-style icon depicts the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son, illustrating a deeply emotional scene where the father, dressed in vibrant robes, embraces his repentant son who kneels before him, while observing figures engage in various joyful activities around them; musicians play instruments, symbolizing celebration, and servants prepare a feast, highlighted by a roasted calf, set against a backdrop of architectural elements and a vivid landscape, encapsulating themes of forgiveness, redemption, and unconditional love.
