Old English Illustrated Hexateuch of Aelfric (Cotton Claudius B. IV, 7r): Adam and Eve
Eve takes fruit from the Tree of Knowledge while speaking to Adam, who stands behind her and bites into a fruit. Adam and Eve are both naked, Adam has a beard and Eve has long hair, which parallels the snake, who is entwined around the tree trunk.
