Neuilly-en-Donjon - Église Ste-Marie-Madeleine

Neuilly-en-Donjon - Église Ste-Marie-Madeleine
Adam and Eve, a scene from the lintel (left side). The style of the carvings in Neuilly-en-Donjon is disputed (see Raymond Oursel). I have the impression, that it is delicate, but somehow "simplified" in many details.
Aside from the carving-style there are more details here: slim and longlegged Adam and Eve wear underpants - and Eve has a navel. Adam has his right hand under his chin - thinking about Eve´s offer. His (missing) left hand holds apple, while Eve is already picking a second one. The snake behind shows a grim smile.
