Notes

The Louvre in Paris has another drawing by Achille-Etna Michallon Les remparts d'Avignon which shows a very similar view without the cart: Fonds des dessins et miniatures: RF 14033, Recto. The gatehouse is the Porte Limbert in the city wall of Avignon which was demolished in 1896. See: Clap, Sylvestre; Huet, Oliver (2005). Les Remparts d'Avignon (in French). Avignon: Benezet. ISBN 2-9522-367-1-2. The Louvre drawing is illustrated on page 37.

Commons has a low resolution scan of a postcard showing the gate:
