The Return of the Prodigal,” by Charles Sargeant Jagger. Sanguine chalk. Drawing of an illustration of that title. I. G. McAllister finds this "full ot strength and dramatic feeling; indeed it has the quality that touches the highest human emotions" (96). It is described by McAllister as a "design for a relief" (85), but it is not known whether such a relief was ever executed. It does not appear in the catalogue at the end of Ann Compton's book on the sculptor. [Click on the image to enlarge it.]
