This print shows Adam and Eve being pushed out of a garden. Adam stands barefoot, clutching a branch, while Eve kneels behind him, her hand covering her face. An angel with wings shoves them forward, and another figure points dramatically toward the exit. The background has rocky ground, trees, and a faint sky. The scene comes from a well-known Bible story about the first humans leaving paradise. The artist copied it from a famous painting by Michelangelo. Look up Cunego, Dominico to see more of his work.
