Calvin University Center Art Gallery

A dramatic and intense scene representing the biblical story of Cain and Abel, where two figures are locked in a struggle. The scene is rendered in dark, expressive strokes, capturing the emotion and tension of the moment, with one figure appearing dominant, possibly symbolizing Cain, while the other figure is clearly subdued.
