Adam and Eve c. 1460

This anonymous woodcut, created around 1460, depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Adam stands to the right, holding an axe and chopping down a tree, representing his labor and the Fall of Man. Eve sits to the left, spinning yarn, symbolizing her role as a homemaker. The simple yet expressive style is characteristic of Northern European art of the period, highlighting the importance of biblical narratives and the connection between humanity and nature.
