Frances Spalding, Roger Fry--Art and Life (1980), quotes Virginia Woolf and reproduces Cezanne's Pommes in black and white on p. 220 (illustration 84).  It has seven apples.  Spalding also has it "on loan to the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge."  The inaccuracy in number of apples is Woolf's.  In addition to D1 140-41, see L2 230.

Dear Woolfians,

I'm preparing a brief undergraduate lecture on modernism, and am trying to track down a Cezanne painting that Woolf mentions in her April 1918 diary entry. In that entry (I believe Vol. I p. 40-I don't have the source here), she recalls an afternoon with Roger Frye and talks about a Cezanne still life. From what I can tell, this would be the "Still Life with Apples," at the Fitzwilliam although the footnote references one called simple "Apples." The Fitzwilliam painting has 8 apples and Woolf references 6 in her journal. I realize this may just be an inaccuracy in her account, and I know it's a minor detail, but I wondered if anyone on this list might know what Cezanne painting she is referencing in that diary reference.

Many thanks,

Lorena
