This drawing on paper, created by the Mughal School in India, showcases their exceptional talent and mastery of Islamic art. The scene depicted in this print takes place outdoors, amidst a natural woodland setting. A large group of people gathers around the lifeless body of Ananias, lying motionless on his side.
