This anonymous engraving from 1697, titled *Eerste christenen verkopen hun spullen en hebben alles gemeenschappelijk* (First Christians sell their belongings and have everything in common), depicts a scene from the Book of Acts, specifically the story of the early Christian community sharing their possessions. The image shows a group of people, likely early Christians, gathered around a figure who is distributing goods to those in need. The scene is set in an urban context, suggesting the community's involvement in the daily life of their city. This engraving, now held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the early Christian community's commitment to communal living and sharing.
