Pencil Profile of a Young Man (the "Salai" Type)
A faint head, invisible before restoration, trimmed away at the top of the sheet
According to the catalogue caption, this verso — invisible before restoration — bears in pencil the profile of a young man of the "Salai type," with the upper part of the head cut off by the trimming of the sheet. In the image a faint, upturned face with curling hair is drawn at the right, the rest of the leaf left blank.
