Art surprise Saturday!
The well-known actress Ellen Andrée would occasionally provide modeling services for a number of impressionist artists.
First off, Manet's "La Parisienne: A Study of Ellen Andrée"; you can see her in his "Plum Brandy" as well.
She would also figure prominently as Degas' model in "The Absinthe Drinker" (1876):
