Edouard Manet<br />

The model in the present pastel bears a striking resemblance to<br />

Mademoiselle Demarsy (née Anne Marie Josephine Brochard), the<br />

stage actress who figures in five of Manet’s oil paintings executed<br />

around the same time as this pastel in 1879. Her likeness appears in<br />

six of the 60 portraits Manet executed in pastel at the end of his life.<br />

EDOUARD MANET (1832–1883)<br />

Executed circa 1879. Estimate: 3500,000–700,000
