This view of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, painted from Bellevue looking west, was a favourite of Cézanne's in the late 1870s and 1880s. In contrast with the full, detailed treatment in the oil painting of the same subject (also in The Courtauld collection), the mountain is mapped here with touches of colour offset by large unworked passages. Recession into the distance is suggested through the gradual transition of tones from earthy reds and greens in the foreground to the softer atmospheric blues and pinks on the mountain.
Notes
For this delicate watercolour, Cézanne selected a view of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire similar to that he had chosen for the oil painting in The Courtauld Gallery’s collection. Unlike the canvas, which is formed by a rich build-up of planes of saturated colour, the watercolour features large, unworked passages made three-dimensional through Cézanne’s minimal but descriptive pencil lines and delicate hues. Cézanne’s deep familiarity with the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, which he saw as a symbol of his native Provence and was a source of inspiration throughout his life, allowed him to capture the essence of the mountain with exceptional economy of treatment. The face of the mountain has been scarcely modelled with sparse pencil lines, loose hatching and patches of pale blue watercolour. The foothills and the foreground vegetation have been more intensely worked with subtle and restrained touches of greens, blues, yellows and oranges that have slowly been built up in successive layers. Specific landmarks, such as houses and trees, have been left as mere suggestions; the horizontal strip of blue to the right of the composition may refer to the viaduct that is clearly modelled in the Courtauld oil painting. Colour is used to organise this balanced and serene view of the mountain, with highly saturated warm tones used in the foreground graduating to diluted, cool colours in the distance, while dashes of yellow unite the composition. Though he experimented with the medium early on, Cézanne began to work more seriously in watercolour from the mid 1880s and produced more than 650 watercolours over the course of his career. Some served as direct studies for oil paintings while others were executed as independent works.

Provenance
by descent to the artist's son, Paul Cézanne, Paris (1872-1947); purchased from him by Ambroise Vollard, Paris (1867-1939), 1907 and immediately sold to Bernheim-Jeune (Paris) to offset the cost, 11 March 1907 [their blue inventory number on the verso; date given by letter from Bernheim-Jeune in file, unsure why Rewald 1983 and thus the online catalogue have it as 12 February; other catalogues have conflicting evidence and that same letter said Bernheim-Jeune had purchased the drawing directly from Cezanne fils, but the blue number on the verso points to this being part of the Vollard/Bernheim-Jeune split works, see note from Fabienne Ruppen for D.1948.SC.111]; purchased there by Gottlieb Friedrich Reber, Barmen (1880-1959), 5 April 1913 (2,100 francs, according to same Bernheim-Jeune letter); Bernheim-Jeune (Paris); purchased there by Percy Moore Turner of Independent Gallery (London), 15 November 1923 (10,000 francs, according to Salmon 2019); purchased there by Samuel Courtauld, London (1876-1947), 12 July 1924 (£350, invoice in file); Courtauld Gift 1932 Cooper 1954 first gave the erroneous provenance that Bernheim-Jeune bought this directly from the artist in 1904, which has been repeated in some of the literature, but which is contradicted by Bernheim-Jeune's letter in the file. It is curious, however, that Bernheim-Jeuene did not know the drawing returned to them and was purchased there again in 1924, as recorded in the Independent Gallery's stockbooks published by Salmon in 2019.
