Original artwork description:

Just as it is impossible to do without poisons in medicine, so it is impossible to live without swindlers. Throughout the history of human civilization, swindlers, deceivers, traders in illusions and the elixir of eternal life accompany us through the storms and cataclysms of the past and present. The Eastern market and the shell game are a classic example of this phenomenon. A member of the Order of the Golden Fleece or the Taurus lures naive onlookers and simpletons into his nets. The desire for easy enrichment pushes people to such professionals. Someone sells beautiful naked concubines for the sultan's harem, and someone sells sweet dreams of success, fame and wealth. Remember the famous painting by Bosch about this. Centuries have passed, but human nature has not changed :) The surprised and delighted man in the street will listen to every word of the new messiah until he discovers that his pockets are empty!
