介绍（中）	像这个一样宽于高度的十八世纪刺绣被称为"烟囱"，因为它们应该挂在客厅壁炉架上方，这是一个荣誉的地方。这种女学生针线活的突出展示表明，家里的年轻女士受过良好的教育，准备成为一名有成就的妻子。烟囱上的设计通常来自欧洲印刷品;在这种情况下，亚当和夏娃故事中的场景改编自奥地利大公利奥波德威廉著名收藏的绘画版画。哈布斯堡大公是佛兰芒艺术家小大卫·特尼尔斯（David Teniers the Younger，1610-1690 年）的赞助人，后者负责监督利奥波德·威廉的意大利绘画收藏的出版。由此产生的卷被称为Theatrum Pictorium（1660年），是第一个插图印刷收藏目录。这本极具影响力的书出版了几个版本，至少有一本显然进入了美洲殖民地。为了帮助目录的雕刻师团队，Teniers绘制了公爵收藏作品的小副本。巧合的是，特尼尔夫妇的《天堂里的亚当和夏娃》的副本与这幅刺绣中的图像有关，收藏在大都会博物馆的收藏中（1975.1.127）。
介绍（英）	Eighteenth-century embroideries wider than they are tall, like this one, were called "chimneypieces" because they were meant to be hung above a parlor mantel, a place of honor. The prominent display of this type of schoolgirl needlework signaled that the young lady of the home had been well educated and was ready to become an accomplished wife. The designs found on chimneypieces were usually derived from European print sources; in this case, scenes from the story of Adam and Eve were adapted from prints of paintings in the renowned collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria. The Hapsburg archduke was patron to Flemish artist David Teniers the Younger (1610–1690), who was charged with overseeing the publication of Leopold Wilhelm's collection of Italian paintings. The resulting volume, called the Theatrum Pictorium (1660), was the first illustrated printed collection catalogue. Several editions of the highly influential book were published, and at least one copy clearly found its way to the American colonies. In order to aid the catalogue’s team of engravers, Teniers painted small copies of the works in the duke's collection. Coincidentally, the Teniers's copy of Adam and Eve in Paradise, which that relates to an image in this embroidery, resides in The Met's collection (1975.1.127).
