By the air intake in the chin I thought it was a bloch 150, then see the wheels and I thought it was some variant of the Morane Saulnier 405 with radial engine.
When see the photos of those planes I realized that this is much smaller.
I arrived at a forum of the "prototype Armée del'Air Française" and I found it.

Although Jean-Jacques Rousseau was one of the parents of the illustration, I doubt that he would have designed an airplane.
But without a doubt the point is for mexchiwa.
