Adam and Eve Lamenting over the Corpse of Abel

About this work

This engraving shows three figures in a rocky landscape. One person lies dead on the ground, while another kneels beside them, reaching out. A third figure stands nearby, looking down with a sad expression. Trees with detailed leaves and branches frame the scene, and small figures in the distance add depth. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, especially in the clothing and skin. The Latin text at the bottom hints at a story from the Bible.
