Description
Graphite, chalk, crayon, pastel, ink, watercolour, and oil on paper, 29 pages, 8 pages and covers are missing, 230 × 125 mm

The drawings in this sketchbook are of South of France themes, including: landscapes, standing forms, rock forms and a monkey ('Cynocephale'). Some are clearly related to pictures of 1950-1952 and they probably all date from this period. There is a certain amount of overlap with Sketchbook 22 and Sketchbook 23.
