Notes
Chappuis suggested that the head in a sulptured helmet "resembles the Hercules in a lion-muzzle headress from the Temple of Aegina, discovered in 1811 (Staatliche Antikensammlungen, Munich)" The head is illustrated p. 61, fig. 4 of Chappuis (1973). It is not known if Cezanne had any knowledge of the work.
The man smoking a pipe is similar to one of the figures in the Jerusalem sketchbook (FWN3016-x2b).
This work is part of a sketchbook:
Sketchbook Paris I, 1857–1871 (3014)
Sketchbook Paris I, 1857–1871 (3014)
Both the front and back endpapers are of papier moiré. At one time the entire sketchbook was dismantled and reattached and possibly restored in 1960s or 1970s. The sheets were renumbered at lower right by the Louvre in the 1990s(?) in Arabic numerals, the pagination we are using here. Pages 30-39 are the only extant original 8-page quire.
