Alexandre Cabanel painting large canvas of Adam and Eve being thrown out of the Garden of Eden, modified, as he does not want to run up against Anthony Comstock and his censorship crusade again. Instead of nudity with fig leaves, the two are wearing layers of clothing. Commemorates the 1887 porn raid on the art gallery of Knoedler & Company.
