A rare and ethereal pastel-colored lithograph after William Blake, illustrating The Creation of Eve—a profoundly symbolic scene from John Milton’s Paradise Lost. In Blake’s visionary interpretation, the moment is captured with spiritual reverence and poetic elegance: Eve emerges with folded hands, newly formed, under a crescent moon, while Adam lies in a divine slumber at her feet. A radiant figure of God, rendered in Blake’s signature elongated and graceful style, gestures heavenward in an act of divine animation. The image blends neoclassical composition with romantic mysticism, typical of Blake’s deeply personal and spiritual visual language. The delicate, muted tones in pale blues, ivory, and soft earthy hues heighten the dreamlike quality and bring a ghostly stillness to the biblical garden setting. Elegantly matted and set in a neutral-toned wood frame, the work maintains a luminous clarity that allows the composition to breathe. A standout for collectors of religious art, Blakeana, or literary illustration, this piece would elevate any gallery wall, study, or space inspired by the transcendental or metaphysical. 20.5" x 16.5"
