The full signature, together with the date, underlines the full awareness of Dürer's result in what is one of his best-known burin engravings, as well as one of his masterpieces. In fact, his studies on the proportions of the human body and his technical virtuosity culminate on this sheet. The glow of Adam and Eve's bodies, with their perfect proportions and sculptural appearance, contrast with the darker background, where naturalistic details abound.
