Painting of a man in a plumed hat and red coat raising a glass, with a smiling woman in gold behind him, in a dim interior with draped curtains.

Rembrandt and Saskia in the Parable of the Prodigal Son

A man in a plumed black beret and rust-red embroidered coat raises a wine glass, his arm around a smiling woman in a golden bodice who holds up a glass behind him. A table with a sword and dishes sits at left, set against dark draped curtains and a warm, shadowy interior.
