16 Holbein The Creation of Eve
Description: From the 'Zürich Bible' and based on the sketches of Hans Holbein, the Younger (1497/98-1543), this illustration of the creation story in Genesis 2 shows Eve rising in the posture of prayer from the side of the sleeping Adam, as God stands alongside giving the sign of blessing. Several of the animals, as well as the sun, have human faces, and trouble lurks from the bottom left-hand corner.
