Painting on wood

[cda 2017]

This representation of Eve shown against a dark background would in comparison with other representations by Cranach appear to be a fragment. Eve stands beside the tree of knowledge and holds an apple in her raised right hand, while apparently observing the serpent coiled around a branch of the tree.
