The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden

Deutsche Grafik 1250–1460, 1460/1480

This is a painting of abstracted figures in a scene under a tree. It is rendered in a stylized manner reminiscent of medieval woodcut techniques, with bold outlines, limited color palette, and an intricate pattern. The central figure wears a robe and wields a sword. To the right, a pair of figures is positioned closely together, one holding foliage. The background includes a tree and a detailed structure. The border is detailed with leaves and floral motifs. The faces and actions suggest a narrative unfolding within a mystical or allegorical realm.
