![Paul Klee - Adam and Little Eve [1921]](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8373/8567288701_54499c0ae9_b.jpg "Paul Klee - Adam and Little Eve [1921] 2")
In this watercolour, Klee somewhat expanded the story of the creation of man. His Eve, after growing from Adam’s rib, stays right there. She also remains a child. Evchen (Little Eve) looks like a schoolgirl with flaxen hair tied in a braid. Adam is a broad-faced, grown man who sports earrings and a mustache. By placing the figures against a shallow ground with a reddish curtain, Klee seems to set the oddly matched pair on a puppet-theater stage.
