A finely detailed engraving after 'La Malédiction Paternelle' (The Father's Curse) by the French genre, history, and portrait painter Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805). The scene reimagines the biblical parable of the prodigal son. Despite the pleas of his family, the son leaves to join the army. His father curses him as he leaves. The engraving was published by Esnauts and Rapilly, a Parisian print publishing partnership founded by Jacques Esnault and Michel Rapilly active in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. On paper.
