About this work

This painting depicts a woman standing in front of a tree, holding an apple in her right hand. She is naked, with long hair flowing down her back. The woman's left hand holds a branch with an apple, and she stands on a deer's head. A snake is coiled around the tree's branch above her. The background features a light blue sky with dark green leaves. The woman's body is rendered in smooth, pale skin tones, contrasting with the darker shades of the tree and the deer. Her facial expression is calm and serene. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. You can explore more works by the artist, Lucas Cranach the Younger.
