About this work

You see a woman standing alone in this engraving. She's Eve, from the Bible story. The artist made her look strong and confident, which is interesting because women were often shown as weaker in art back then. The details in her clothes and hair are also carefully done, showing the artist's skill. Check out the work of artist: Beham, Sebald.
