This artwork encapsulates a pivotal moment in Acts 19-20 where believers in Ephesus openly confess their wrongdoings, including sorcery, leading to the public burning of scrolls valued at fifty thousand drachmas. The engravings by Gustave Dore and Eustache Le Sueur vividly depict St. Paul's influential ministry at Ephesus, amidst the turmoil stirred by silversmiths led by Demetrius.
