The Milliner

1872[-]1882

Eva Gonzalès, the only formal student of Édouard Manet, captures the quiet concentration of a Parisian hat-maker in this charming Impressionist scene. Dressed in a crisp blue gown with teal accents, the young woman carefully arranges artificial roses while surrounded by fashionable hats and delicate floral wallpaper. Though she died tragically young at just 34—only days after her beloved mentor—Gonzalès left behind a brilliant legacy of modern life, proving she was a master in her own right.
