1880, Edouard Manet, Gypsy with a Cigarette -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) (special exhibition)
From the museum label: Manet never exhibited this painting, and no record of its original title or date has been discovered. It was listed in his studio as Mexican Woman, sold in the sale of Degas's collection as Indian Woman, and has been associated with a group of works that Manet titled The Gypsies. The painting most likely reflects the contemporary fascination with Spanish culture and may have been inspired by Georges Bizet's opera Carmen, about a woman who worked in a cigarette factory, which premiered in Paris in 1875.
