"Les Premières Funérailles, Adam et Ève portant Abel" (First Mourning, Adam and Eve carrying Abel) is a poignant sculpture by the French artist Louis-Ernest Barrias, created in 1878. This work of art captures the biblical figures of Adam and Eve in a moment of profound grief as they carry the lifeless body of their son Abel, who was murdered by his brother Cain, marking the first death in human history according to the Judeo-Christian tradition. The sculpture is a powerful representation of parental sorrow and the devastating consequences of fratricide.

Barrias, known for his allegorical and mythological subjects, was a prominent sculptor of the 19th century who received numerous accolades for his work, including the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1861. "Les Premières Funérailles" is considered one of his masterpieces and reflects the academic art style of the period, characterized by its adherence to classical techniques and often conveying moral or historical narratives.

The sculpture is notable for its emotional intensity and the meticulous attention to detail in the figures' expressions and postures. Barrias's skillful use of marble captures the textures of skin and cloth, adding to the realism of the scene. The work invites contemplation on themes of mortality, loss, and the human condition, resonating with audiences across time.

"Les Premières Funérailles" has been exhibited in various art institutions and is recognized for its artistic and cultural significance.
