To: Hebrews 11:6

Thank you very much. Only 3 of those pieces portray it scripturally. The ones with Adam and Eve clad in animal skins; usually assumed to be sheepskins. But all of them show the enormous tragedy of the couple receiving the recompense of their disobedience, and being driven out of their once-idyllic home.

Agreed. I was surprised by how few serious paintings I found—these were the best. Tissot even posits a navel for Eve.
