Eva Gonzalès (1849 – 1883) was a French Impressionist painter.
Eva Gonzalès was born in Paris into the family of the writer Emmanuel Gonzalèz. Gonzalès became a pupil of the artist Édouard Manet in February 1869. Manet is said to have begun a portrait of her at once which was completed on 12 March 1870 and exhibited at The Salon in that year.
Like her teacher, Édouard Manet, she never exhibited with the Impressionist painters in their controversial exhibitions in Paris, but she is considered part of the group because of her painting style. She was Manet's only formal student and modeled frequently for several members of the Impressionist school. Until 1872, she was strongly influenced by Manet but later developed her own, more personal style.
She married the graphic artist Henri Guérard, and used him and her sister Jeanne Gonzales as the subjects for many of her paintings.
Her career was cut short when she died in childbirth at the age of thirty-four, six days after the death of her teacher, Manet.
