Adam en Eva

An etching of two nude figures standing beside a tree: a man at left holds an apple near his chest while a woman at center holds one in both hands. A serpent coils in the branches at upper right, and dense hatching models the foliage and ground. The signature "Rembrandt f. 1638" appears along the bottom margin.

Español: Adán y Eva

Un aguafuerte con dos figuras desnudas de pie junto a un árbol: a la izquierda, un hombre sostiene una manzana cerca del pecho; en el centro, una mujer sostiene otra con ambas manos. Una serpiente se enrosca en las ramas, arriba a la derecha, y el follaje y el suelo están modelados con trama densa.
