Español: La expulsión del Paraíso

Un ángel con el brazo extendido y alas vuela entre nubes en la parte superior izquierda, acompañado de pequeños querubines, sobre un hombre y una mujer desnudos que avanzan por un paisaje verde. Ganado pastando a la izquierda bajo los árboles, con colinas azules y una llanura amplia que se extiende hasta el horizonte.

Português: A expulsão do Paraíso

Um anjo de braço estendido e asas voa entre nuvens no alto à esquerda, acompanhado de pequenos querubins, acima de um homem e uma mulher nus que avançam por uma paisagem verde. Gado pastando à esquerda sob as árvores, com colinas azuladas e uma planície ampla que se estende até o horizonte.
