Polychrome Sculptures of Adam and Eve

These polychrome sculptures (18th-c.) depict Adam and Eve in a moment of biblical significance. Eve extends an apple, symbolizing temptation, while Adam hesitates, embodying the narrative of original sin. Such figures were integral to Catholic teaching in colonial Latin America, turning moral doctrine into a tangible visual lesson.
