Literature: Paul Cézanne Aquarelles, Gotz Adriani, Bibliotheque des Arts, Paris, 1981, no. 47 (illustrated).
Note: Executed around 1890-95, the present work probably takes its subject from a path in the forest of the Château Noir, through which he often passed on walks away from Aix towards Mont Sainte-Victoire, which is visible in the distance. Between 1890 and 1902 Cezanne rented storage space for materials at the Château Noir property, and he documented various stages along the paths that led through the adjacent forest in numerous paintings and drawings.
