CIRCA 1878, RAISED SUNBURST PAD MARKS, BOTH SIGNED WITH AN NV MONOGRAM FOR NARCISSE VIVIEN

N. Vivien is recorded as a meticulous painter of birds often in association with platinum grounds. His work was exhibited at the Paris Universelle Exposition of 1878. A Narcisse Vivien, likely one in the same with the present artist, is recorded at 85 Boulevard Voltaire in 1883.
