Eva Gonzalès. Girl with Cherries. 1865–1875. France. Oil on canvas The daughter of an affluent and cultured family, Eva Gonzalès was Édouard Manet’s first and only official pupil. Girl with Cherries, which features a freely painted figure lit dramatically against a dark background, shows a clear debt to Manet’s contemporary Spanish-style works. The model wears the frilled linen cap and loose, striped gown of an 18th-century servant girl—an occupation further suggested by her rolled-up sleeve.
