I'd guess the painting--titled "The Story"--portrays Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden

Charming c. 1930 Wooden Boxing Toy, Sharkey vs. Schmeling serving The mottled matte periwinkle blueI've had a couple of these wonderful old boxing toys in the shop, each a little different, and will never pass them by if I can help it, as I think they're just fantastic graphically, and fun to play with too! The faces on this one are especially great, and even better: handwritten in pencil down the leg of one figure is Sharkey, for Jack Sharkey, and Schmeling on the other, for Max Schmeling, who fought each other for the world title in 1930.
