I am not sure about the meaning but the painting depicts the youngest son who has returned home in a wretched state from travels in which he has wasted his inheritance and fallen into poverty and despair. He kneels before his father in repentance, asking for forgiveness, having realized that even his father's servants had a better station in life than he. His father receives him with a tender gesture. Standing at the right is the prodigal son's older brother, who crosses his hands in judgment; in the parable he objects to the father's compassion for the sinful son.
