Eve
black and white pencil on neutral paper
8.2.1998

You have seen the source from which this woman was copied many times, though you may not realise it. Here, the lesser-known arm of God is wrapped around Eve; the better-known arm (not pictured here) is creating Adam. From the "Creation of Adam," a section of the Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo.
