Emile Allard left few traces of his artistic creations. Another known work of his, in oil, represents a village most certainly in Périgord, but mentions his address in Libourne, via a stamp on the back of the panel. He actually got married there in 1933. He did not exhibit at the Bordeaux salons, which does not confirm the knowledge of his work. Our watercolour produced in 1960 takes up the very famous Dommois framing of the Porte des Tours taken from the road entering the bastide.
