What is the narrator point of view in the short-story, The Unknown Masterpiece?

Honore de Balzac tells his story “The Unknown Masterpiece” from a third-person omniscient reflective narrative from the point of view of an unknown individual, one who is nevertheless familiar with the events described. The story is dedicated in 1845 (even though it originally appeared in 1831) and even though the events of the book take place in 1612–more than two hundred years before they are recorded.
