About this artwork

This etching is taken from the earlier of two portraits Manet painted of his student Eva Gonzalez (now in the National Gallery, London), depicting her painting in Manet’s studio. Berthe Morisot was reportedly jealous of the countless sittings required, and the painting was not completed until the last possible day for sending it to the Salon of 1870.
