The recto of this sheet sheet was page LIX from the sketchbook CP IV; the verso page LX.

Chappuis (op. cit.) related the recto to the oil La Montagne Sainte-Victoire, vu des Infernets, circa 1895 (R 762; Mr and Mrs Carroll S. Tyson, Jr. Collection, Philadelphia Museum of Art) and La Montagne Sainte-Victoire, 1897 (R 796; Private Collection).

The verso is a sketch of a figure lying down, reading: the right elbow of the man touches the ground, the face is hidden by a newspaper (the upper edge of which is indicated) and the legs by a blanket. Chappuis (op. cit.) deconstructed the complexity of the composition, which works as a unity, in opposition to Venturi (op. cit.), who catalogued it as 'esquisse très vague d'un paysan'.
