Con le parole del museo — in olandese
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.

Nel frattempo, nella vita di Gerard de Lairesse
Tutta la vita1664
Flight from Liège and Marriage to Marie Salme
He fled Liège after an affair with two sisters, his models, ended in scandal. He headed north with Marie Salme and married her in Visé; the couple settled in Utrecht, where a son was baptized in April 1665.
c. 1665
Portrait by Rembrandt
Around 1665 Rembrandt painted a portrait of Lairesse; it clearly shows his saddle nose, the mark of the artist's congenital disease.
1667
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.
