A Family Scene (Adam & Eve)

North Italian 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a rectangular bronze relief featuring three human figures. On the left side, a reclining male figure is shown. In the center, there is a small child seated on the male figure's legs. On the right, a seated female figure holds a spindle. Next to her, at the bottom right, is an additional smaller figure, likely a child. The material of the sculpture is bronze with a slightly worn look. The scene is contained within a rectangular plaque with a hole at the top.
