Ciné Sketch (1924) was a theatrical diversion of Picabia and René Clair in which Duchamp and the Polish model Bronia Perlmutter, both nude, mime the figures of Adam and Eve in a tableau vivant of the Temptation after a painting by Cranach. Ciné Sketch was performed only once, at the conclusion of Relache's run at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées on New Year's Eve, 1924.
Duchamp displays an evidently artificial beard, a watch, and a shaved pubis.
The tableau survives as a photograph taken by Man Ray.
