Adam

Jacob Binck

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of Adam by Jacob Binck. The man, presumably Adam, is standing in front of a tree, with curly hair, no shirt, and no pants. He is barefoot and has a covering made of leaves and vines over his genitals. The man holds a fruit in his right hand and a vine or leafy branch in his left hand. The tree behind him has a rough, textured trunk and branches with leaves. In the background to the right, there is a town or village on a hill. The sky above appears hazy. The entire image is rendered in a detailed, engraving style.
