Eva zittend op boomstronk met een appel in haar hand 1519

Sebald Beham's 1519 engraving, "Eva zittend op boomstronk met een appel in haar hand," depicts Eve seated on a tree stump, holding an apple and looking away from the viewer. She is nude, except for a cloth around her waist. Behind her, a snake winds its way up a tree trunk, a common symbol of temptation in art. This small, detailed engraving, measuring only 66 mm x 54 mm, reflects Beham's mastery of the technique and his exploration of biblical themes. The artwork is now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
