Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala (c.1841 – January 14, 1871) was a Spanish academic painter who was born in Bilbao. He moved to Madrid in 1859, where he enrolled in the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando and studied with Federico de Madrazo. In 1860, he studied in Paris with Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier (1815-1891).
A cochonnet is a small wooden ball used in the playing of pétanque. It is what players of bowls would understand as the jack.
