Eva og slangen 1901 - 1904

"Eva og slangen" (Eve and the Snake) is a pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Joakim Skovgaard, created between 1901 and 1904. The artwork depicts a scene from the biblical story of Adam and Eve, with Eve standing on the right, her back to the viewer, and Adam standing on the left, looking towards Eve. The drawing is characterized by Skovgaard's use of fine lines and hatching to create a sense of depth and form. The drawing is a preparatory sketch for a larger painting, and it is a fine example of Skovgaard's style, which often combined realism with symbolic elements. "Eva og slangen" is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
