Notes
Lower left an incomplete copy after Juan de Pareja's painting La vocación de San Mateo (The Calling of Saint Matthew), Museo del Prado, Madrid. Cezanne probably knew this work from a wood-engraved reproduction in Charles Blanc's 1869 Histoire des peintres de toutes les écoles: Ecole espagnole.
