(a detail of) Eve Naming the Birds
1810, pen and tempera on linen, 73 x 61.5 cm.
At
the Zglasgow Museums: Pollok House Stirling Maxwell Collection
This is
a detail of a painting with a companion painting called Adam
Naming the Beasts. A half-length figure, painted almost
to life scale represents the creation and fall of Man, while
other paintings by Blake represent Man's salvation. Eve appears
innocent and beautiful as she mindlessly runs her fingers through
her hair.
