Eve is depicted as a standing, full-length figure beside the tree of knowledge. She is shown almost frontally, her torso and head are turned slightly to the right, her wavy hair extends down her back to her buttocks. Eve stands with her legs crossed supported by her right leg. In her right hand she holds an apple she has already bitten into, with her left hand she conceals her lap. The snake is coiled in the tree and bends down towards Eve. The depiction of the tree and the snake extends over both panels.
