The Eiffel Tower as Seen from The Trocadero (c. 1899) is one of a pair of views which Hawkins painted while the pavilion for the 1900 World Exhibition was being constructed, here seen in the distance behind the Eiffel Tower. In the foreground is the sculpture Asia, by Alexandre Falguière (1831-1900), which decorated the old Palais du Trocadero, which had been built for the World Exposition of 1878.
