Le Tonnelier flower painting showing his watercolors of bouquets19th century French School large scale oil on canvas signed N. Michel (19th century) and dated 1888 in the lower left. On the back is written "Henri Napolon Michel" and dated 1885. We presume this is the subject. The portrait is also entitled "Le Tonnelier de Bercy" (the barrel maker of Bercy). The work is smooth to the touch. A portrait of a barrel maker from Bercy in Paris. The light is perfectly calibrated and realistic for a workshop of this kind.
