The painting depicts Adam as a life-size nude. His he is turned to the right and he looks in this direction. In his right lowered hand he holds an apple on a branch with leaves, and his left hand is raised to his chest. Adam stands on stony ground against dark green undergrowth, this is in contrast to the flesh paint. Part of a tree is visible along the right edge of the painting and is continued on the pendant painting - Eve.
