This black chalk drawing by Michelangelo depicts Adam and Eve, the first humans according to the biblical story of Genesis. The figures are nude, a common theme in Renaissance art that emphasized the study of the human form. The dynamic poses and expressive lines are characteristic of Michelangelo's style. Though the exact date of creation is unknown, the drawing is believed to be a preparatory study for a larger composition, likely a fresco or sculpture. This intimate study is a testament to Michelangelo's mastery of the human form and his deep understanding of the human condition.
