With its lavish handling of paint, this painting is comparable with 'The Old Château' in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, and probably dates from late in the artist's career. Called 'The Ruisdael of Montmartre' by an early biographer, Michel was poor and unsuccessful in his own lifetime, but his art was greatly appreciated by Rousseau, Millet and other realist landscape painters of the mid-nineteenth century.
