Notes
This work is known only by Venturi's reference to it (Oeuvres Inédites, p. 349).
This work is part of a sketchbook:
Sketchbook 10.3 x 17, 1863–1865, 1869–1873 (3001)
Sketchbook 10.3 x 17, 1863–1865, 1869–1873 (3001)
The sketchbook is unnumbered and was disbanded in the 1930s. Most of the sheets are held in the Kunstmuseum Basel, but some were sold separately. Since the sequence is unknown, the FWN numbers have been randomly assigned. The sheets are listed here as individual pages as opposed to how they may have appeared in the sketchbook with the exception of FWN 3001-01a/b, which was separated on two half-sheets.
