Adam stands close to Eve and has put his left arm around her shoulder, while she offers him an apple. They stand beneath the tree of knowledge and a snake winds itself around the branches laiden with apples above their heads. A stag stands to their left facing the viewer and behind him a deer with her head bowed. To the right between Eve and the tree trunk there is a lion. Dense trees create a backdrop for the scene.
