title = "Images of the first woman: Eve in Islamic Fāl-nāma paintings",
abstract = "This chapter discusses the portrayal of Eve in Islamic paintings in relation to her image in textual Islamic sources. The paintings under discussion are taken from the highly-influential Iranian and Turkish Fāl-nāma volumes (books which images and text were used for divination) from the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. They present Eve in three significant moments of her and Adam{\textquoteright}s story: being adored by the angels in the Garden; the expulsion from Paradise; and the moment after the expulsion. Their analysis demonstrates, on the one hand, that the portrayal of Eve in these paintings reflects the textual Islamic traditions of the Qur{\textquoteright}an and later sources; while on the other it shoes how the images break with these traditions, reinterpret them, and introduce new details into the scene.
