This is a 16th-century engraving by Johann Sadeler I titled *Adam en Eva* that depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The artwork shows Adam and Eve standing near the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, with a serpent wrapped around the tree. The serpent is a symbol of temptation, and the apple represents the forbidden fruit that Eve eats. The engraving is a powerful reminder of the consequences of disobedience. The image is a prime example of the Renaissance art movement with a focus on realism and human anatomy. *Adam en Eva* is currently displayed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
