Adam and Eve outside Paradise

[Whole folio] An angel guards the buttressed gatehouse of Paradise. Outside, Eve sits spinning. The spindle suggests she is spinning flax, not wool. Adam digs the virgin earth, painfully, with naked feet. His spade has a wooden frame tipped with iron. There are goats, sheep, and a stunted oak tree
