The artist Emile Munier was a student of French Academic Classicist William Bouguereau and produced a dizzying array of portraits, history scenes, genres, and landscapes in his lifetime. The near-photographic realism created with expert use of light and brush technique makes this tender domestic scene come to life, with details like the young girl and cat so masterfully rendered. This remastered, Mixed-Media painting is titled "My Best Friend" and perfect for French Classical Interior Design.
