The Prodigal Son among the Pigs

After wasting all his money, the son struggles to make a living in a land struck by famine. Among the pigs the son repents. Why be stubborn and stay and starve, while his father's servants are well-off?

It is possible that Rembrandt took his inspiration from one of Dürer's etchings.
