This print showcases Pieter Brueghel the Younger's masterpiece, "The Flatterers". With its rich colors and intricate details, this painting transports viewers to a topsy-turvy world where money, greed, and corruption reign supreme. The artist skillfully weaves together elements of Russian folklore and Flemish proverbs to create a thought-provoking allegory on human nature.

Brueghel's mastery lies in his ability to capture the essence of these vices with precision.
