The street name is "rue de la Michodière".

The complete stencil text at the back is: "M.Belot, rue de la Michodière, n°2 à Paris"

Cottoz & Belot were painting merchants in the XIXth.

This information above adds some serious value to the art. You can double the current bid by ten, it would still be a bargain.


edit: I'm just joking, I don't thing it adds any value. I know of a couple of paintings with the same stencil at the back. They're all from the same time (early-mid-XIX).
