Henri-Charles Guérard
(French, 1846–1897)
Portrait of Jean-Raimond Guérard, 1890
Color etching
In 1879, Guérard married the rising art-world star Eva Gonzalès, a student of his friend Édouard Manet's. In 1883, Eva died giving birth to their son, Jean-Raimond. This sensitive portrait shows the boy at about age six. |
