The Return of the Prodigal Son (1773) by Pompeo Batoni. The Parable of the Prodigal Son (also known as the parable of the Two Brothers, Lost Son, Loving Father, or of the Forgiving Father; Greek: Παραβολή του Ασώτου Υιού, romanized: Parabolē tou Asōtou Huiou) [1] [2] is one of the parables of Jesus in the Bible, appearing in Luke 15:11–32.
The Prodigal Son, also known as Two Sons, Lost Son, the Prodigal Father, [15] the Running Father, [16] and the Loving Father, the third and final part of the cycle on redemption, also appears only in Luke's Gospel (verses 11-32). It tells of a father who gives the younger of his two sons his share of the inheritance before he dies.
The Return of the Prodigal Son includes figures not directly related to the parable but seen in some of these earlier works; their identities have been debated. The woman at top left, barely visible, is likely the mother, [ 4 ] while the seated man, whose dress implies wealth, may be an advisor to the estate or a tax collector.

In it, a woman searches for a lost coin, finds it, and rejoices. It is a member of a trilogy on redemption that Jesus tells after the Pharisees and religious leaders accuse Him of welcoming and eating with "sinners."
