Description
** A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this lot will benefit The Fowler Museum at UCLA **
Latin America, Mexico, ca. mid 20th century CE. A fabulous sculptural depiction of Adam and Eve standing beneath the Tree of Life, verdant with green leaves and juicy red apples, Adam and Eve modestly donning fig leaves to cover their privates. Amusingly, the figure of a horned, red Satan sits upon a yellow swing suspended from the boughs of the tree as if daring the first man and woman to fall from Paradise by eating from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil! A wonderful example, hand modeled and composed, painted with a vivid, colorful palette. Size: 5" W x 6.75" H (12.7 cm x 17.1 cm)
Provenance: Ex - Morgan Collection, Santa Monica, CA
