Michel Garnier was born in Saint-Cloud and studied with the painter Jean-Baptiste Marie Pierre (1713-1789). From 1793 until 1814, he was an exhibitor at the Salon in Paris, mainly of genre subjects in the fashion established by such contemporary painters as Marguerite Gérard and Louis-Léopold Boilly. Garnier also painted portraits and, later, still lives.
