Catalogue entry

Drawn inverted in relation to the main numbered sequence of subjects in the sketchbook, this sketch encompasses the Mont Blanc range from the Dent del Gigante to the left, to the Grandes Jorasses at the right, with Le Chetif to the left, and to the right the crags and ridge of La Saxe. It is taken from a viewpoint on the Col d’Arp path above the now-destroyed site of the baths of Font Vittoria, over the river from Dolonne, looking down on Dolonne at the lower edge, with Courmayeur across the Val d’Aosta to the right.
