Perdue is a 1914 by Jean Veber, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In this painting, a man in a hat and coat is shown in a room, gesturing towards another man who is standing against a wall. The room is dimly lit, with shadows cast on the walls. The man in the hat appears to be in a state of agitation, while the other man looks on calmly. The atmosphere is tense, with a sense of drama unfolding. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures.
