Eva Gonzalès was a French Impressionist painter. She was a very established artist and praised by the critics. She was Édouard Manet's only formal student; like him she never exhibited in the Impressionist exhibitions in Paris, but she is considered part of the group because of her painting style. While studying under Manet, Gonzalès self-portraits suggest she was exploring her individuality and identity as an artist by presenting subtle correctives to Manet's version of her. Until 1872, she was strongly influenced by Manet but later developed her own, more personal style. In 1883 she died in childbirth at the age of 34.
伊娃-冈萨雷斯(Eva Gonzalès)是法国印象派画家。她是一位非常成熟的艺术家，广受评论家的称赞。她是爱德华-马奈(Édouard Manet)唯一的正式学生；像马奈一样，伊娃从未参加在巴黎举办的印象派画展，但由于她的绘画风格，她被认为是该团体的一员。在马奈门下学习期间，冈萨雷斯的自画像表明她通过对马奈的版本进行微妙的调整，探索自身艺术家的个性和身份。直到1872年，她都受到马奈的强烈影响，但在之后发展出个人风格。1883年伊娃死于分娩，享年34岁。
Gonzalès often asked her sister Jeanne (also a talented artist) to model for her quiet domestic scenes of daily life, and she likely posed as the fashionable sitter shown here arranging violets in a blue vase. This intimate pastel, with its pearly gray and pink palette and an ensemble of pictorial elements that stimulate the senses—from the rustling gown to the fragrant flowers—strikes a chord with works made in the late 1870s by Manet.
冈萨雷斯经常请她的姐姐珍妮（也是一位才华横溢的艺术家）为她安静的家庭日常生活场景做模特。在这里，她很可能在扮演一个时尚的保姆，把一束紫罗兰放在蓝色花瓶中。这幅蕴含亲密的粉彩画，其珍珠般的灰色和粉红色调，以及画中整套刺激感官的图像元素，从沙沙作响的长袍到芬芳的花朵，与马奈19世纪70年代后期的作品产生共鸣。
