Ernest Narjot painted in a detailed, traditional style seen in his landscapes, portraits, and several murals for public buildings. By the 1880s, he was considered one of California's foremost painters and also illustrated books of early California life. His paintings were meticulously detailed and rendered in the traditional style of the mid-19th century French School of painting. Narjot died in San Francisco on Aug. 24, 1898. His works are rare since many of his paintings were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire.
