Painting Description: No 32

Understanding that Adam and Eve are forbidden from eating from this tree. However, Adam is a human being; a human being usually forgets, his hearty sentiments fluctuate, and his determination is weak. It might really be a mole tree, and every man wishes to be immortal. Days passed while Antarah and his Abla were embraced by the tree, but this time he was the initiator and the actor at a time. How could he not be; he’s Antarah! He extended his hand to the tree and picked one of the fruits and presented it to Abla. 
Here Shubbar captured a fairy-tale spectacle for both of them approaching the tree, and then coming close to the viewers riding two innate horses, as we see Antarah carrying the red snake on his spear that was the source of seduction in an ascending structural composition. The two leading figures of the scene move to the front of the painting, delivered by Shubbar with tactile variations that weave the spaces through toning and coloring.  It was such an announcement that the only thing that eased Antarah's sadness by falling into this temptation was that he had come victorious over traditions and customs. He is able to subjugate it and replace it from Ibn Zabiba to Ibn al-Atayeb. Today he is set free and both characters ate from the forbidden tree. Antarah neither felt the pain, sadness and shame, nor discovered that he and his beloved girl were naked, but he had to protect himself with clothes and weapons. He discovered that he and his lover are walking to the front scene, and here Shubbar chronicles those moments with a unique vision.
