Adam and Eve Lamenting the Death of Abel

Lucas van Leyden

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of three figures set against a rocky landscape. The central figure is a nude female with drapery swirling around her body, raising her left arm. To her left, an old male figure stands. Below them lies a figure on the ground, partially covered by cloth. The background shows rocks, sparse vegetation, trees, and hills. The drawing is intricate and showcases a high level of detail typical of Northern European print work of the 16th century.
