Description: | Jeanne Gonzalès, who often modelled for her sister, Eva, is seated on a donkey, while Henri Guérard, the artist's husband, looks on. After the artist's sudden death aged only thirty-four, Jeanne and Henri married. The unfinished painting was found in the artist's studio after her death, and the area around the man's jacket is unresolved. It clearly shows the influence of Éduard Manet, who became the artist's teacher after she worked as a model for him. Manet's portrait of Gonzalès hangs in the National Gallery, London. Donkey Ride is the only work by Gonzalès in a public collection in Great Britain. | Subjects: | figure; animal (donkey); portrait (Gonzalès Henri) Guérard Jeanne | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gonzalès, Eva (French painter and pastelist, 1849-1883) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8883... | Go to resource |
