The Creation of Eve (Gn 2: 18 - 25)

After the Creation, God saw that Adam was lonely and cast him into a deep sleep. While Adam slept, God took one of Adam's ribs and formed a woman out of the rib. Upon seeing Eve, Adam saw that she was a fitting companion for him and called her woman. In this depiction, God pulls Eve out of Adam’s side while Adam sleeps.
