Before Doré there was Hieronymus Bosch, around 1504. This is the left panel of the triptych known as The Garden of Earthly Delights. Full triptych here.

Before the Fall there wasn't a lot to do but in a second panel (not shown here), everybody is having sex, which is why a third panel ("Hell") was required to set the record straight.
