Lady with a Fan, c. 1869-1870, Eva Gonzales, French, 1847 - 1883, 16 3/4 x 10 5/8 in. (42.5 x 27 cm) (image)23 3/8 x 17 7/16 x 2 9/16 in. (59.37 x 44.29 x 6.51 cm) (outer frame), Pastel on paper affixed to board, France, 19th century, Like Mary Cassatt, Berthe Morisot, and other women who found recognition in the male-dominated art world of late 19th-century France, Eva Gonzalès used family members as models. Her younger sister Jeanne figured frequently in her work and is surely the model for this pastel. Gonzalès made the drawing at the age of twenty-two, the year she entered Édouard Manets studio—as his only formal pupil.
