The Fall of Man

Etienne Delaune

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two nude figures on boats holding flags. A tree with garlands and draped elements is central, flanked by the bowing figures. Birds perch on stylized branches above, with swirling lines indicating water below. Swans swim in these lines, adding movement. The design is ornate and symmetrical with intricate details.
