If I'm remembering correctly, this painting is about with someone released from prison re-uniting with his loved ones.
Nerdrum had worked on another painting around the same time called 'The Arrest'. I also associate it with the drawing shown here, 'The Embrace'.

A lot of Nerdrum's earlier work had a lot of political thought coursing through them. I think this one fits in that kind of concerned mindset.
I'm sure the painting has multiple meanings, but the 're-uniting after injustice' theme I do remember being important to it.
