The Temptation. The Expulsion.

Imagines mortis.
Cologne, 1555.
(ADJ7045)

The scenes found in this 1555 publication include the same figures and arrangement but everything is in reverse – Here Eve sits to the left of Adam, whereas in Holbein’s plate she sits to his right. Similarly, Adam and Eve are driven to the left by an angel in the upper right hand corner; these directions are the opposite in Holbein’s image. Details also differ, for example in “The Expulsion” Eve’s head is turned slightly toward the viewer while in Holbein’s plate her head is shown in profile.
