Blank verso with a charcoal female nude (folio 154)
Two mounted fragments invisible before restoration; one preserves a cut charcoal figure
Both fragments of this verso were invisible before restoration. The upper piece (154a verso) bears no writing or drawings, showing only faint show-through of the recto. According to the catalogue note the lower piece (154b verso) preserves part of a large charcoal drawing, a female nude seen from the side, whose truncation shows that the sheet was later cut in half.

Charcoal female nude seen from the side
The lower fragment retains part of a large charcoal drawing in which a female nude is made out in side view. Its cut-off state indicates that the original sheet was later divided in two, as noted for folios 132-133.
