Adam and Eve with the Serpent

The item is a framed painting on paper depicting a scene from the biblical story of Adam and Eve. The central figure is Eve, with pale pink skin, rendered in a naive or folk art style. She has large, wide-open eyes, red lips, and long, dark brown hair flowing down her back. A stylized black snake with red eyes is wrapped around her arm. Eve is reaching for a large red apple hanging from a tree. The tree has a vibrant orange trunk and branches, with dark green leaves and multiple large, round red apples hanging from it. The ground is adorned with a profusion of stylized flowers in shades of red, yellow, and white. The background is a bright blue sky. The colors are bold and flat, typical of gouache or tempera paint. The painting is housed in a simple light wood frame, likely with a glass or acrylic covering. There are no visible artist signatures or markings. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious tears or damage to the paint layer, though reflected light on the surface obscures a full view. The style suggests a naive or self-taught artist, possibly from the mid to late 20th century.
