The page also consists of notes that Cezanne made during his legal studies. Chappuis (1973, p. 63) translated the artist's notes in his entry for this work.
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.
