He was also a pupil of Bouguereau since about 1873 and they became good friends.
He was born in Paris in 1840 and had two other brothers. All of them were skilled in drawing and arts and by the age of 12 they all had made a pastel self-portrait reportedly.
Munier was awarded three times by Beaux-Arts and won an award in Chicago, too in 1893. Since 1882 his subjects are prevalently children and pets. Subjects were his son Henri and his daughter Marie Louise.
