This print showcases the painting "The Punishment of Ananias and Sapphira" by Russian artist Alexei Alexeyevich Harlamov. Created in 1865, this masterpiece can be found in the esteemed collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Academy in St. Petersburg. Harlamov's work depicts a powerful biblical scene from the New Testament, illustrating the consequences of greed and deceit.
