Notes
T. Reff (2004) makes a strong case that the background of this work is not by Cézanne, but that the figures might be.
Verso of paravent (FWN560) that is now separated from the front. This screen is now held in the Musée Granet, Aix-en-Provence and combines the left (R2/V1) and right (R3/V2) halves seen here.
