Jeanne Guérard-Gonzalès (1852-1924) Chaumière. Drawing, watercolour and gouache, on white vellum. 268 x 210. Signed in pen and ink at the bottom right. Small gap in the lower right corner . Jeanne Gonzalès was the younger sister of Eva Gonzalès (1849-1883), Henri Guérard's first wife, who died after the birth of their son Jean. Jeanne married her brother-in-law and raised the child as her son. She herself had learned painting from her sister Eva, who had been trained in Manet's workshop, to whom she was very close. Jean Grave (1854-1939) was born into a working class family in Puy-de-Dôme, which settled a few years after his birth in the Gobelins district of Paris. He worked as a shoemaker and militated in socialist groups. In 1883, at the request of Élisée Reclus, he took care of the newspaper Le Révolté in Geneva. Trained on the job in typography and journalism, he devoted his life to the anarchist and libertarian press. After several stays in prison (Sainte-Pélagie, Mazas and Clairvaux), he founded his newspaper Les Temps Nouveaux in Paris, 900 issues of which were published from May 1895 to August 1914. Many artists and writers collaborated - among them Huysmans, Mallarmé, Mirbeau, A. Daudet, Luce, Signac and Pissarro. Grave also published works of theory and propaganda, novels, a play, children's stories and a souvenir book .
