Description.
Lempicka was fond of repeating stories about the creation of "Adam and Eve". The inspiration for this painting arose when a professional female model took a break to eat an apple. Lempicka asked her to hold the pose and started to sketch. She then invited a policeman who was making his rounds in the streets to pose for Adam.
