The Fall and Redemption of Man: The Expulsion from Eden

Albrecht Altdorfer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white woodcut image depicting a scene with three figures. The figure on the left is kneeling, holding a sword in his right hand with the blade pointing up and to the right. He wears a long-sleeved shirt and a gathered cloth around his waist. The central figure, also kneeling, has their right arm extended towards the figure on the right. This central figure appears to be naked. The figure on the right stands with their back to the viewer, wearing a loincloth, and seems to be walking or being led away. The background features a cloudy sky with lines suggesting movement or wind, and some illegible letters are visible at the top.
