EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour engraving from 1870 depicts a scene of temptation and greed as devils pour gold coins from a hat into the apron of a woman and the hat of a young boy. The intricate details in this artwork draw you in, making you ponder the darker side of human nature. The contrast between the innocent faces of the woman and boy and the sinister appearance of the devils creates a powerful visual narrative. The image serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of materialism and unchecked desire for wealth. The use of vibrant colours adds to the allure of this print, making it even more mesmerizing to behold. The skillful craftsmanship evident in every line and shading showcases the talent of 19th-century engravers who brought this scene to life. As you gaze upon this artwork, you can't help but be drawn into its mysterious world where devils tempt mortals with riches beyond their wildest dreams. It serves as a reminder that sometimes what glitters is not always gold, and that true wealth lies in values far greater than material possessions. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece; it's also a thought-provoking commentary on human nature and our eternal struggle between good and evil.
