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.

The drawing is based on an actual place in Lyon, where the artist Juan Pablo Machado was living at the time.
