"Departure of the Prodigal Son" is an etching by the French artist Abraham Bosse (1602–1676), created in the 17th century. Bosse was known for his detailed prints and illustrations that often depicted scenes of social life, informed by the moralistic tone of the Counter-Reformation and the didactic nature of the period's literature. This particular work is part of a larger tradition of visual art that illustrates stories from the Bible, specifically the Parable of the Prodigal Son found in the Gospel of Luke.

The etching captures the moment when the younger son, having demanded his inheritance, leaves his father's house to seek his fortune. This narrative was a popular subject for artists, as it allowed them to explore themes of repentance, forgiveness, and the complexities of familial relationships. In Bosse's interpretation, the emphasis is on the departure, highlighting the emotional and moral consequences of the son's decision.

Bosse's technique is characterized by his use of line and meticulous attention to detail, which is evident in the intricate clothing of the figures and the architectural elements of the scene. His work reflects the Baroque interest in drama and narrative, as well as the social mores and hierarchies of his time.

As an artist, Abraham Bosse was also an influential printmaker and theorist, whose works provide a window into the domestic and public life of the French bourgeoisie during the reign of Louis XIII and the early years of Louis XIV. "Departure of the Prodigal Son" not only serves as an example of Bosse's artistic skill but also as a cultural artifact that offers insight into the values and concerns of 17th-century French society.
