Adam en Eva staan in het Paradijs naast de boom der kennis van goed en kwaad. Beiden schrikken van de slang met vrouwenkop die rond de stam van de boom kronkelt.

Move to Amsterdam
When the art dealer Gerrit van Uylenburgh discovered Gerard's talent, the artist moved to Amsterdam. He arrived with a violin, and his playing impressed Jan van Pee at Uylenburgh's studio.
