From Sotheby's:
Eva Gonzalès first received critical attention at the Paris Salon of 1870, when she exhibited three pictures and was herself the subject of a fourth: Portrait d'Eva Gonzalès by Édouard Manet (see fig. 1). The sole pupil of Manet, Gonzalès achieved considerable success within Parisian art circles during her lifetime. Gonzalès was championed by the likes of Émile Zola, who referred to her as the "naturalist artist of our times" (published in "Lettres Parisiennes," La Cloche, May 12, 1872, p. 2, translated from the French), and the critic Jules Clarétie, who wrote of Gonzalès as "an artist of rare talent, who takes the brush after having handled pastel like Rosalba" (Jules Clarétie, Peintres et Sculpteurs Contemporains, Paris, 1874, p. 263, translated from the French).
