专家说明

The ultimate source for the figural composition on this charger, and that on several other recorded Adam and Eve chargers, is an undated engraving by Crispin van de Passe (1564-1637) after a painting by John Overbeck. For an illustration of this engraving, see Michael Archer, Delftware, The tin-glazed earthenware of the British Isles, London, 1997, p. 81, fig. 24.
