I interpret that this is why we see in the painting the woman lying completely turned and faced towards the viewer. Eve is essentially responsible for the downfall of man, and once that all happens, she feels no longer safe and incredibly exposed.

In the picture, you definitely get the difference in man and woman that the narrator elaborates so greatly on in Book 4, hence the fact that Eve is positioned lower than Adam and why his arm is draped around her almost protectively.
