Eve is a 1906 by Jean Veber, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a person lying down with their head turned slightly. Their body is relaxed, one arm stretched out, the other bent under their head. Above them, a branch with small fruit hangs, almost touching their face. The drawing looks loose and quick, with soft lines and little shading. It’s not polished—just a rough, sketchy feel.
