The painting depicts Eve as a life-size nude. Her body is turned frontally to the viewer and although her head is turned slightly to the left she looks directly at the viewer. Eve wears her long blond hair loose. In her left hand, which is raised, she holds an apple from which she has already taken a bite. In her right hand, which is also raised, she holds onto the branch of a tree around which the serpent has wound itself. The trunk of the tree extends along the left side of the painting. Eve stands on stony ground in front of dark green undergrowth, which is in contrast to the light flesh paint. A stag lies behind her and also looks out at the viewer.
