Adam and Eve is a 1504 ink by Albrecht Dürer, a Northern Renaissance work, depicting Clothed Male, Naked Female, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows Adam and Eve standing naked in a landscape. They look relaxed, with Adam leaning on a tree. The details in this work are interesting because Dürer added subtle textures to the figures and trees, which makes them look more realistic. Dürer was known for his attention to detail, and this work is no exception. He used simple lines and shapes to create a sense of depth and volume.
