This engraving, "Adam en Eva veroordeeld tot werken" (Adam and Eve condemned to work), by Etienne Delaune depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Created after 1569, the print portrays Adam, toiling with a pickaxe, and Eve, lying despondent in the foreground. The background depicts the scene of their banishment, with animals and a lush landscape. The work exemplifies the Northern Renaissance's interest in biblical narratives, and the detailed rendering showcases Delaune's skill as an engraver.
