He is mentioned in a memoir by the painter Charles Picart Le Doux. After World War I, on a sentimental walk through Montmartre in Paris, Picart Le Doux writes,
I searched in vain for traces of the studio that the painter-navigator Pigeard had built with demolition materials…along Avenue Junot. It was with Pigeard that I made my debut as an "amateur yachtman," in Le Havre, on his monotype. I even made imaginary journeys in his little Chinese room, after smoking a few pipes of opium.[3]
