View of Gardanne, 1885

(in the Philadelphia catalog, Cezanne, Abrams, 1996, p. 299)

The cone is 1/3 the length wide and 1/2 the length long. Have you ever wondered about the odd shadow on the bell tower? It's the tip of the cone! In this unfinished painting you can see how he roughly laid in the cone as he developed the bottom half of the composition. In the top half of the painting the cone is more complete and precise.
