Adam en Eva c. 1656 - 1657

"Adam en Eva" is a red chalk drawing by Moses ter Borch, dating from 1656 to 1657. The drawing depicts a sketch of Adam and Eve in a seated pose, with the outlines of the figures clearly visible. This drawing is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam and exemplifies ter Borch's skill in capturing human form through simple yet expressive lines. The artist's early death at the age of 22 limited his output, making this piece a valuable insight into his artistic potential. This small yet detailed drawing exemplifies ter Borch's talent for capturing the human form.
