This is one of two murals located on the walls on an underpass at Queens Park Crescent West leading to the Univeristy of Toronto campus.
The long mural may be a modern depiction of Adam and Eve. It depicts naked men and women in non-realistic forms. In one scene the couple is acccompanied by a lion with a human face while they encounter a serpent. In another scene the male figure seems to be taming a horse while the woman casually rests against a wall. In the center, a man raises his arms with a wolf(?) standing ahead of him and a bird flying with large wings.
There is no information at the site about the title, date or artist.
The mural across from this one, on the other side of the underpass, is even less distinct...and somewhat damaged...perhaps by a combination of weather and vandalism. That mural seemsto depict four watercolored scenes of human figures...doing things which are no longer (and perhaps were never) discernable. A photo of the mural in a better state can be seen at (
