Adam and Eve

Albrecht Dürer, 1504

The image shows a man and a woman standing next to each other in a forest setting. The man has curly hair and a muscular build, looking towards the woman. The woman has long hair and holds an apple. Both are nude with leaves covering their lower bodies. The surroundings feature large trees, vegetation, and various animals at their feet. A parrot is perched on a branch held by the man, with a sign hanging from it. A serpent is seen beside the woman, and the forest extends into rocky cliffs in the background.
