"Schepping van Eva" (Creation of Eve) is an engraving by Johann Sadeler I from 1585, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve, with God creating Eve from Adam's rib. Sadeler's detailed style emphasizes the figures' anatomy and the natural setting, using crosshatching and subtle shading for a realistic effect. The engraving's inscription highlights the beauty and power of God's creation. This print reflects a popular theme in Renaissance art, exploring religious narratives through vivid depictions.
