An almost life-size depiction of Eve shown as a full-length figure, facing left. She has taken a bite out of the apple she presents in her right hand, while she holds another in her left hand, which she has placed on her hip. Eve stands on her left leg and has wrapped her right leg around it. Part of the tree of knowledge is shown at the left edge and this pictorial devise leads over to the pendant piece, a panel depicting Adam. The serpent coils itself around the branches of the tree, a stag has settled beside Eve and behind her the space is filled with small bushes.
