The Temptation of Eve – John Roddam Spencer Stanhope (c) Manchester City Galleries; Supplied by The Public Catalogue Foundation Date: 1877 Depiction of the temptation of Eve from the Bible story in the book of Genesis. The naked figure of Eve stands beneath the Tree of Knowledge on a carpet of blue, white and yellow flowers and grass, with one hand leaning against the earthen bank behind her, the other reaching up over her head to grasp an apple. Eve faces the viewer, her head turned to the right of the picture, her eyes blankly gazing down and her left foot in front of her right. She has long blonde hair which hangs behind her and swoops up at her right hip to cover her genital area. A blue serpent, with a hideous human head and red hair, entwined about the trunk and branches of the tree, whispers temptation, in the form of steamy breath, into Eve’s ear. A small, Italian-style cypress trees and a path winding through grass can be seen in front of the red brick garden wall in the background.  Source: ArtUK.com How the art was made: Pencil and watercolour with gum arabic, heightened with body colour and gold, on paper wrapped around a wooden stretcher.  #Eve #JohnRoddamSpencerStanhope https://www.instagram.com/p/B-CmJ6FAEXG/?igshid=1nfzjstx43cuu
