Return of the Prodigal Son

The light in this image appears to be coming above from a candle or torch of some kind. The image also shows the viewer that the man and his son are the subjects, as it gets darker the more it goes back, to the point where the figure in the back is hard to distinguish. The artist depicts a boy, presumably the son of the man who's feet he is at, who is clinging to his father. These characters are also distinguished by their clothes, one with tattered rags and the other with a red robe.
