The name of Cain has always been associated with the crime of murder ; 

 Cain, according to the Biblical account, having slain his younger brother, 

 Abel, out of envy. The famous painter, Bouguereau, has here presented a 

 most pathetic scene of the first parents mourning over the death of their 

 favorite son.
