The Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise
An angel with white wings and a red sash drives a kneeling, nude woman and a bearded, nude man from a shadowy garden under a stormy sky. Eve covers her breast and reaches toward Adam, who shields his face; a serpent lies in the grass at lower right. Oil on canvas.
