French painter Eva Gonzalès (1849-1883) began her professional training and took lessons in drawing in 1865, from the society portraitist Charles Chaplin, who was also Mary Cassatt's teacher. She met Édouard Manet in 1869 and was to become his student, colleague and model. Manet is said to have begun a portrait of her at once which was completed on 12 March 1870 and exhibited at Salon in that year.
