Footnote:

In the spring of 1883, Myles Birket Foster went to travel around Morocco and Spain with his son and a friend. They arrived in Grenada after a period in Tangier and inspired by the Moorish architecture of the Alhambra, Birket Foster would go on to make multiple sketches similar to the present lot.
