The exterior of this wing panel shows Eve as a full-length nude figure, facing left in the Garden of Paradise. In her right hand she holds a branch with foliage that discretely covers her private parts, while stretching out her left hand to offer Adam the fatal apple. In the foreground accurately painted flowers spring from the grass at her feet. The tree of knowledge with the serpent winding through its branches is prominently placed behind her at the left, whereas on the righthand side the background opens out to reveal a landscape with mountains, and to continue the narrative by showing the expulsion from the garden. The interior wing shows Christ carrying the cross, a scene that occupies the foreground and two thirds of the image. Behind as on the exterior the narrative is continued, showing the crucifixion on Calvary.
