Twee schetsen van Adam en Eva c. 1656 - 1657

This preliminary sketch by Moses ter Borch, created between 1656 and 1657, depicts Adam and Eve. The drawing shows the pair standing in a simple pose, likely a preparatory study for a larger composition. The artist’s loose, gestural lines capture the essence of the biblical figures with a sense of grace and realism. The piece is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring fascination with this classic subject.
