Two turtledoves flew down in front of Adam and Eve, one dying when it landed. The other dug a hollow place and moved the dead one into it, hence Adam and Eve did likewise to Abel's body.

And to know that it was also your other son... it's sad. I'm not familiar with the paiter but why is there a shovel? It's nice and it's dark and if you look at it long enough you can really see what the characters in the painting is feeling. Angeline There is no greater tragedy than loosing a child.

I think of John Steinbek's 'East of Eden'and "Demian" by Hermann Hesse. Blake always makes the utmost to present their emotions and tragic moment.
