Eve or The Apple is a 1913 oil by Gustave De Smet, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
The painting, titled "Eve or The Apple," features a nude woman standing in a landscape. She has red hair and wears a red beaded necklace, with her hands resting on a dark surface in front of her. The background is a mix of gray and white hues, with a tree visible on the left side. The woman's pose and expression are calm and serene, with her eyes cast downward. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman seemingly lost in thought. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting adds depth and dimension to the scene, highlighting the woman's form and the surrounding landscape.
