Modesty cover in paintings (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

fig leaf

(Other definitions for fig leaf that I've seen before include "Covering for Adam's private parts" , "Adam and Eve attire" , "Eve's modesty garment?" , "Growth on fruit tree - first day cover!" , "Greenery worn by Adam or Eve" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
