The intricate details of this artwork transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into biblical narratives and religious teachings. Created by an unidentified European School artist, this print is part of a series that remains shrouded in mystery but is believed to have been published by Pierre Mariette in Paris. The image captures the essence of punishment and retribution as it portrays the consequences faced by those who defy divine instructions.
