Notes
This work was listed in a catalogue printed by the Galerie Bernheim-Jeune for a Cezanne exhibition (January 10–22, 1910, no. 14 – Peyrières, près d'Aix-en-Provence) and lent by Geroges Dumesnil. It seems that the work was sold early in the exhibition. A second catalogue was printed where this work did not appear. See the entry for the exhibition and images of the first catalogue.
