Description

Large Tigua painting depicting Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The canvas itself is formed by a piece of skin stretched and nailed over a wooden frame. The back and outer sides of the frame are unpainted save for some drips of paint on the sides of the frame. At the top of the image there is a representation of god painted from the waist up. His torso, head and arms are suspended in the blue and white streaked sky. He has pink skin, black hair and a black mustache and beard. He wears a white, brown, orange and black outfit. There is a yellow substance or force being released downwards from his left hand. God looks down upon Adam and Eve in the lower right corner of the painting at the moment that Eve accepts an apple from the serpent. The green serpent is coiled around the brown trunk of an apple tree, left of Eve. Adam sits on a grey rock left of the tree with a white baby llama in his lap. Adam and Eve are both naked save for white bands of fabric around their waists. An orange lion with a brown mane stands in between the two and faces Adam, who gestures with his right hand. The image also depicts a vast landscape with various peaks and valleys and a waterfall flowing downwards from the upper left corner towards the middle of the painting. There are many varieties of trees painted in various shades of green, brown and yellow and many different animals scattered throughout the landscape.
