An Eternity of Judgment and Grace

This painting is also from The Ghent Altarpiece (see previous post on Adam).

.

Quizzical she seems

Rueful

.

As if the catastrophe

Was never intended

.

And how was she

To know

.

That a moment’s choice

Could bring

.

An eternity of judgment

And grace?

.

You can see the paintings of both Adam and Eve at the far left and right of the front of the altarpiece below:
