The catalogue raisonné lists drawings from Bazille's albums, selected correspondence (299 letters), and individual catalogue entries for most of his works. It also includes a catalogue of missing and unknown works, as well as erroneous attributions. The author later also wrote a short (31 p.) addendum to his original study, titled: "Frédéric Bazille : supplément au catalogue raisonné", Paris, 2006 (no imprint).
