The figures are cut on two blocks, which form a single composition
when placed end to end.
In a park-like landscape Eve reclines 1., holding an apple in her 1.
hand, while her r. arm rests on the stump of a felled tree. Adam reclines
r., facing her, with his back against the stem of a tree, and extends his
r. hand to take the apple. A stag is seen behind a tree at a little
distance from Eve.
[47 x 234.] Late impression of the two blocks placed together. Heraldic water-
mark.
In the inventory of 1837.
Formerly attributed to Diirer, but certuinly by Beham. Eve is imitated from
Amymone in Diirer’s engraving, B. 71. These two cuts were first used in Eck’s
“ Wider den Gotzlesterer . . . Cunraten Som,” Ingolstadt, 1527, 4to, and agaiu in a
calendar for 1531 (Albertina). The blocks are in the Derschau collection and there
are modern impressions.

throughout the series, are naked.
In a cartouche above the group is printed, “ Adam vnd sein weyb, |
Adam war huudert vnd dreyssig jar alt,” etc. (4^ lines).
