Faint pencil sketches: vessels, a perspective study, an interlace panel
Two faceted vessel forms, a perspective ledge, and a curvilinear interlace pattern in light pencil.
Although the catalogue note describes this sheet as devoid of writing and drawings, it in fact bears several very faint pencil sketches. At upper right a small bordered square is filled with a repeating curvilinear interlace pattern; near the top are two rounded, faceted vessel or solid forms with internal construction lines, and just below them a short perspective study of a ledge or cornice drawn with hatching. No text is present to transcribe.

Square panel of curvilinear interlace
A small square with a ruled border is filled with a repeating pattern of interlocking curved forms, an interlace or knot-like tessellation. It is the boldest and clearest of the sheet's faint pencil marks.
Two faceted vessel or solid forms
Near the top of the sheet are two rounded, cup- or bowl-like forms drawn with faceted outlines and internal construction lines, suggesting studies of a solid figure rather than finished objects.
Perspective study of a ledge or cornice
Below the two forms a short foreshortened study of a stepped ledge or cornice is drawn with parallel hatching and a right-angled corner.
