Cain and Abel- Cain Runs Away as Abel Lies Dead on the Ground
“...And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.” Genesis 4:8 ASV
Abel lies dead on the ground, his left arm propped behind his head and his staff discarded next to him. Cain is slinking away, hiding his face. God appears in the smoke from the sacrifices burning on a nearby altar. A tree stands just behind the altar and a small bird watches from the bottom left corner of the image. Sheep gather in the background.
