    Except of course most of the view out of the window apart from the three circled buildings does not match up at all.

    The three circled buildings are the furthest thing you can see out of that window, and in the pic in general, and the thing about far away big things is, you can move around a lot before their visual appearance will start to change noticably.

      The story of how that background was created has been stated by the artist himself: he was studying in the quartier de la croix-rousse in Lyon, and incorporated it in the drawing using multiple reference pictures.

      So while the neighborhood is recognizable, it is not a perfect match from any POV.

      Also, relative positions of circled buildings seems off, so I would say that this address is off by some distance making it another address

      If the drawing is an accurate copy of an original photo, then that original photo was probably taken from the left of this new photo. Not a few meters to the left, but dozens. (I’m ball parking it from my phone screen)

      With 3 landmark recognition points, you have enough info to properly “triangulate” a 4th position, but that wasn’t done here, the angles are wrong.

      • The relative distance between the buildings matter, you have to know which is further away. If I’m wrong about which buildings are closer/further, then it could actually be to the right. A phone is probably not the best device for doing this kind of guesstimation.
