Acrylic Paint

Surrealist painting with various imagery that has to do with the garden of Eden. An apple hangs between the female and the male and it is held by a serpent. On the paper attached to the man's arm reads, "And Eat, And Live, Forever" which comes from the biblical text. There is a bottle of champagne that has to do with human folly as well as the sexual nature of the female figure. The artist signed the work on the bottom corner as well as the back of the canvas. Canvas is not framed.
