Adam and Eve with Cain and Abel

Fra Bartolomeo (Bartolomeo di Paolo), also called Baccio della Porta

Italian (active Florence, Venice, and Rome), 1472 - 1517

This painting is unfinished: the artist began to apply light tones over the sepia-colored underpainting but the figure of Adam remains a drawn form without tonal variations.
