Halved parallelepiped and cube, with a note on a bedstead
Perspective solids and a reminder to see the bedstead at Santa Maria Segreta
A large leaning parallelepiped is drawn in perspective with internal diagonals, described together with a cube, each solid halved, and accompanied at the left by smaller unfinished sketches. A personal note in red chalk above the drawings reminds Leonardo to see the bedstead (lettiera) at Santa Maria Segreta in Milan. Small clover-shaped doodles are scattered at the right edge.

Halved parallelepiped and cube in perspective
A large leaning parallelepiped is drawn in perspective with internal diagonals, accompanied at the left by smaller related solids. The caption identifies a parallelepiped and a cube, each halved, together with small interrupted sketches.
Reminder about a bedstead
A memorandum in red chalk tells Leonardo to see the bedstead (lettiera) at Santa Maria Segreta. It is a personal reminder jotted above the geometric drawings.
Cinquefoil doodles
At the right edge are several small clover- or cinquefoil-shaped doodles drawn in red chalk, set apart from the geometric studies. The caption notes small interrupted sketches on the leaf.
