介绍（中）	这个面板是一组三个帷幔中的一个，可能是用来装饰床的测试员的。小元素水果、花朵和树叶在画布上用帐篷缝合，然后用多色丝绸和金属线涂抹在伊甸园的河流、亚当和夏娃以及父神的图案上的深色天鹅绒基础上。这座花园具有纪念意义，几乎让人叹为观止。这三棵树锚定了这首诗，让人想起了圣经中对伊甸园、生命之树和善恶知识之树的描述。亚当和夏娃被极右翼逐出伊甸园的场景也可能源于对当代白话英语圣经的阅读，而不是任何绘画惯例。亚当和夏娃穿的衣服让人联想到伊丽莎白晚期的服饰，1560年的《日内瓦圣经》将他们的第一件衣服称为"马裤"。在这件和其他关于伊甸园被驱逐的刺绣作品中，亚当和夏娃受到上帝和驱逐天使的对待比当代印刷品中更温和。
介绍（英）	This panel was one of a set of three valances probably used to decorate the tester of a bed. Small elements—fruits, flowers, and leaves—were worked in tent stitch on canvas and then applied to the dark velvet foundation on which was worked the river in the Garden of Eden, the figures of Adam and Eve, and God the Father, in polychrome silk and metal threads. The garden is monumental, almost overwhelming the figures. The three trees that anchor the composition would have brought to mind the biblical description of trees in the Garden of Eden, the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The scene of Adam and Eve being expelled from Eden on the far right may also derive from a reading of contemporary vernacular English Bibles, rather than any pictorial convention. Adam and Eve wear garments that suggest articles of late Elizabethan dress and the Geneva Bible of 1560 referred to their first clothes as "breeches." In this and other embroidered renderings of the story of the expulsion from Eden, Adam and Eve are treated more gently by God and the expelling angel than they are in contemporary print sources.
