v.1: Peintures 1819-1865 -- v.2: Peintures 1866-1877 The catalogue of the paintings is presented in chronological order, followed by a small section on the sculptures. There is a separate section dedicated to unidentified paintings and drawings. Entries include provenance information, exhibitions, comments, and extracts from contemporary citations, when available.

The catalogue was issued by the Wildenstein Foundation after Fernier's death. In addition to the index of paintings in the first volume, the second volume contains an index of works classified by subject matter, an alphabetical index, an index of proper names for v. 1& v.2; and a concordance with the 1977 retrospective exhibition held at the Grand Palais, Paris. A supplement is currently in preparation by Jean-Jacques Fernier (see in process entry cited in this database).
