This is a print of Christ at Heart's Door by Warner Sallman, an evangelical Protestant artist. The heart shape formed by the lighting and the door frame is a deliberate element of the composition.

Heh, though presumably printed in black/white monochrome, it does appear greenish. Maybe an effect of ageing. Also, the heart shape ties in with the recent Valentines theme.
What does that sign on the door say? That white thing on the left looks kind of rabbit-like.
