You (and Milton, perhaps?) are assuming more about God and God's motivations than is present in the source material. We're told that He "loves" us, but that didn't prevent the many other episodes described in Scripture in which we have sinned and been punished for it. Original Sin isn't somehow different from all those we've committed since. The artist who places her fragile art in the same room with a destructive child, even if she isn't omniscient, probably knows what's coming next. She probably considers the child's actions to be art, as well.
