Adam and Eve

Yolande Delasser

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features two human figures, one male and one female, standing within a fenced enclosure. The figures are depicted as nude, with the male closer to the foreground and the female in the background. They are made of a wood-like material and painted in earthy tones. The male figure holds a red object. Both figures have dark hair. At the center of the enclosure is a twisting tree with green leaves and pink flowers, with a snake coiled around it. The snake is painted in brown and green colors. The enclosure is green and resembles wood, with posts topped with spike-like tips. The entire scene is mounted on a rectangular base. The sculpture is detailed and finely crafted, with intricate elements within the confined space.
