Ganay, and his elder brother were both featured in James Tissot's 1868 group portrait painting The Circle of the Rue Royale. The painting depicted the gathering of the Circle of the Rue Royale, a male club founded in 1852 who commissioned the work,[9] and takes place on one of the balconies of the Hôtel de Coislin, overlooking the Place de la Concorde.
