"Adam and Eve" (1517) is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Hans Holbein the Younger, a leading figure in Northern Renaissance art known for his precise and detailed style. This work, a pen and ink drawing on paper, showcases Holbein's mastery of line and his ability to convey complex narratives through imagery. The drawing depicts the biblical figures of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden at the moment of temptation, a subject that has been widely explored in Christian art.

In Holbein's rendition, the figures are rendered with a delicate yet confident touch, reflecting the influence of Italian Renaissance art as well as the Northern Renaissance's attention to detail. The composition is carefully constructed to guide the viewer's eye through the narrative, with the serpent often depicted coiled around the Tree of Knowledge, presenting the forbidden fruit to Eve, who in turn seems to be in a contemplative or hesitant state. Adam is typically shown nearby, sometimes engaged in the scene or as a passive participant.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its place within the context of Holbein's oeuvre and the broader cultural and religious environment of the time. It reflects the humanist interests of the period, exploring themes of knowledge, sin, and the human condition. "Adam and Eve" (1517) is also an important example of Holbein's early work before he became court painter to Henry VIII in England, and it provides insight into the development of his artistic style and thematic concerns.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the drawing is part of the collection of the Kunstmuseum Basel in Switzerland, which houses an extensive collection of Holbein's works. The "Adam and Eve" drawing continues to be studied by art historians and is considered an important piece for understanding the evolution of Renaissance art and its depiction of biblical narratives.
