About this work

Adam and Eve, after eating a fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, discover that they are naked. They cover themselves with leaves and hide from God behind a tree. God the Father searches for them and asks where they are. On the left in the background, God the Father gives clothes to Adam and Eve. On the right, a bear. At the bottom, a reference to the Bible text in Latin. This print is part of an album.
