Description
Gothic; The Prodigal Son Window Delaporte no. 58, Deremble-Manhes no. 35Panel 05: The younger son rides off ? (Luke 15:13)The prodigal son (?) rides to the right. On a pillion behind him is a small dog. He wears a cap with a chinstrap (caul). A round red object hangs from his saddle. At left stands a man in a short tunic and a hat. He carries a stick in one hand and with the other hands (or is being handed) a blue object by/to the man on horseback. In the background is a stylized tree. The meaning of this panel is unclear. Delaporte suggests this shows the servant of the prodigal son quitting in disgust. Alternative explanations are that the man on horseback in this panel is himself a servant of the prodigal son. The standing man may either be a servant or may be someone giving directions to the prodigal son.; The Prodigal Son Window
