The image depicts Eve by Paul Gauguin. The artwork shows a woman standing in the center with long dark hair wearing a short skirt, almost covering nothing. The woman's left hand is raised to her mouth. She is standing on two feet, with her left foot slightly in front. The background behind her is mostly clear except for the head and shoulder of another individual to her right and a headless body on her left. The body on her left appears to have bull horns. The woman and the two bodies are depicted in dark color against a light background. The artwork's left top has an oval outline with a "9" in it. The edges of the paper are rough and uneven. The artwork's style is simplistic and primitive. The image's mood is somber. The overall composition includes basic forms and lines. The artwork looks aged and worn.
