# Arm of Eve, in Albrecht Dürer

Albrecht Dürer painted this in 1507, aged 36. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> Arm of Eve is the only surviving preparatory drawing for Dürer’s life-size panels of Adam and Eve in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. It is also one of the few surviving drawings by the artist made on Venetian blue paper, a support he began to use for his chiaroscuro studies while visiting Venice in the winter of 1506–7.
