Adam and Eve are depicted in their familiar 'costumes'. They can be seen naked and only wearing a fig leaf shortly after the Fall. Eve's long hair covers her breasts. Both are an artistic way of symbolising the lost innocence of the first human couple. Eve still has the forbidden apple from the Tree of Knowledge in her hand, which she had tasted after being tempted by the serpent. After committing this sin, Adam and Eve were forced to leave Paradise. Since then, they have been wandering the earth in the hope of finding redemption after death and being able to return to Paradise.
