In Genesis 1, man and woman are created apparently simultaneously:
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
Genesis 2 rewinds a bit and zooms in on the creation of man and woman.
But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
These events are often depicted in medieval art, often with Adam sleeping and God kind of birthing Eve out of Adam's body.
Assuming the images in Q13 are artificially created layered constructs (which is in my opinion the only way to make sense of them) then both of these from the bottom half of this folio may allude to these scenes.
