Waterpainting on paper located on reverse “Rabat jardin” unsigned - Noted on reverse “6/9 from a series of 9 drawings made in 1916-1917 & located in Fez or Rabat.
The artist illustrates Egypt, Algeria, Morocco and France but it is with passion that he details Morocco. The historic sites are patiently described: the ramparts and the fountain Nejarine of Fez, the alleys and the souk of
Taza, the palace of Baya in Marrakech but also Rabat and Casablanca. He does not hesitate to go to the Kasbah so little explored as Kasbah M'goun. His travels lead him to the border with Algeria in Oujda. Beyond
the historical sites, they are moments of intimacy or more generally of the Moroccan life that draws and watercolor on the spot: the prayer, the scenes of coffee with the kaouadji, the scenes of market or the Arab
storyteller.
