Description
North Porch, Central Portal
Outer Archivolts with figures of God from Genesis (outer) and the Creation of the Earth and the fall of Man (inner)
Right side Outer and Inner 3: Adam and God
Adam (beardless, naked) stands between two trees). He looks and gestures toward God (bearded, crossed halo) who stands in the outer archivolt, holding a book. God does not look at Adam.
Perhaps the trees are the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and God ha warned Adam not to eat their fruit-JV
