"Adam and Eve," a 1932 oil-on-panel, is a striking example of Art deco style by Polish artist Tamara de Lempicka. The religious painting depicts the biblical figures of Adam and Eve, with a male nude embracing a female nude holding an apple, symbolizing temptation. The stylized skyscrapers in the background create a modern, urban setting, contrasting with the biblical theme. Measuring 116 by 73 centimeters, this oil painting exemplifies Lempicka’s refined Art Deco aesthetic and is currently housed in a private collection.
