Six medals in this same salon between 1878 and 1889, in Munich in 1879, Antwerp in 1885, Vienna in 1888, Berlin in 1883. He stayed in Cairo in Egypt and then painted his famous painting "Le panorama du Caire", oil on canvas. 114 meters X 14 meters. He also stayed in Morocco, in Tangier in 1884.

They are, like our design, monogrammed EW and have approximately the same dimensions. This drawing is in perfect condition, it is monogrammed EW at the bottom right.
