Commentary

Bodmer arrived again at Baton Rouge from New Orleans on the morning of January 23, according to Maximilian's later report. He stayed here for three days, occupying the time with sightseeing and in making studies of the city and its immediate environs. This undated watercolor of a church at Baton Rouge was probably done during this period.
