Have never seen this particular work before.

Astonishing.

Do you know, who is the artist?

Adam, shown flaking out, is catastrophically failing in his duties based on his state in life.

Eve, appearing in utter rapture, is also helpless, having naively allowed the serpent to seduce her in every way.

The way this scene is depicted, with so many telling details so expertly brought out, is actually very much in line with millenia-old traditional Catholic teaching. Thanks for posting.

Glad you liked it and good analysis. William Blake was a bit of a mad hatter and genius.
