Pastels by Félix Michel (2)

Félix Michel (1856-1915), the second son of the painter Charles-Henri Michel, opened a candy store in Rouen (Normandy) toward the end of the 19th century. One of Félix Michels nephews was my friend Charles-Henry, who passed away a couple of weeks ago at the age of 99. These are some more of Félix Michel's pastels.

      Not really, or very little. He was more into history and language.

    He was a very good artist, his confections would have been excellent as well.

      I bet the confections would have been good. He specialized in apples. Normandy is full of apple orchards.
