This painting is called "in the garden". Bearden painted this painting in 1974. They say that he painted to represent Eve, from the story of Adam and Eve; in the garden. People have said that Bearden put a southern spin on this religious story. For one, usually Eve is white and nude. In this painting, Eve is black, clothed and picking crops. Like many women in the South, they spent most of their days out in the garden picking crops that they grew. I like how Romare showed this woman's curves in her dress, and the many vibrant colors.
