Georg Balthasar Probst (XVIII) - Eeuwse kopergravure – De Zondeval van Adam en Eva in de Tuin van Eden

A richly detailed, 18th-century copper engraving depicting the Fall of Man in the Earthly Paradise. At the center stand Adam and Eve beside the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, surrounded by an extensive menagerie of animals such as lions, deer, and a historic rhinoceros.

Under the scene is a multilingual strip of text (including Latin and French) with references to the Bible book Genesis 3. This composition is closely related to the work of the well-known German engraver and publisher Georg Balthasar Probst (Augsburg, ca. 1740–1780). Identical copies are in the collections of the Wellcome Collection and Musea Brugge.
