Pierre Mendès France
It's now 41 years since the French statesman disappeared. Agnès was his daughter-in-law for a time, and even drew him.
On the anniversary of his death, Agnès recounts the bond between them: "I was his daughter-in-law when I was married to Jean-René Claret de Fleurieu. His mother, Claire, married Pierre Mendès France in 1971. She asked me to draw him."
