This is a painted copy int he same sense of a print of 1579 by Jan Sadeler after a painting by Maarten de Vos. It is signed and dated 'C. J. Behem 1642', though nothing is known of an artist of this name. The painting expands the landscape around the central episode, adding the peacock and lambs in the foreground and the animals on the left side - guinea pig, stork, kingfisher, cattle, deer and elephant.

In a lush wooded landscape with a river, the full-length naked figure of Eve stands under the Tree of Knowledge offering an apple to the seated figure of Adam, indicating the Serpent, which is half female, with her right hand.
