Those are on Zola himself.  Don't know what other things you mean -- his relationship with Manet?  Why did Manet paint him?  Something about the way that Manet painted him? (The Japanese influence; the copy of his own painting within the painting, etc.?)

Answer 2

Nomi is right. . . that is Edouard Manet's portrait of the writer Émile François Zola:  see  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Émile_Zola
