The Pont de l'Alma and the Trocadero from the Quai
Watercolor over pencil, Ca. 1929, 152 x 284 mm.
Rapid but detailed pencil drawing, finished in watercolor, on brownish wove paper with framing lines, signed in pencil and inscribed "Paris." Though not a preliminary drawing for it, and, for that matter, taken from a point closer to the architectural subject, the view
and composition are similar to Bejot's etching of 1929 (Laran 403). The two towers and rotunda of the Trocadero (torn down in 1936) are shown towering over the bridge, and the quai in the foreground is filled with industrial sheds, tents, wagons and workers. Béjot was a prodigious and popular etcher but his best works are probably his watercolors.
