The scene is set in a landscape with various operations, including a bird in the tree and a deer or stag resting nearby.

God sets man into Paradise; he allows him everything, except only to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2. original: "Got setzt den menschen ins Paradeiß/ erlaubt jm alles/ on allein von dem baũ der erkentnuß gůten vnd böses zuessen."
