Adam Giving Names: Genesis Chap. II. Ver. 20
An engraving of a framed image of Adam naming animals as detailed in Genesis 2:20. The framed image sits above a plinth with the inscription: "And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field:". Above the framed image are symbols of the Old and New Testaments, including the tablets of the Ten Commandments, a Sefer Torah, a Cross, and a crown of thorns flanking a glowing star shape potentially representing the Holy Spirit. The entire composition is surrounded by floral decorations held aloft by three birds.
