## Commentary

The Giralda once served as the minaret of the mosque of Seville, which was transformed into a cathedral in the thirteenth century. This informal sketch was painted during one of Dauzats&#39;s trips to Spain in the company of Baron Isidore Taylor \(1789-1879\), who played a crucial role in expanding French popular taste to include works of art from other cultures and scenes of travel abroad.
