Red-chalk studies of a half figure with bent, spread legs
Two loose sketches of a partial human body, one barely begun and lying prone
The leaf carries two rapid red-chalk figure sketches with no accompanying text. The upper study shows the trunk and bent, spread legs of a half figure; the lower one is only faintly begun, a half figure in a prone posture. Both are unfinished anatomical outlines rather than finished drawings.

Half figure with legs bent and spread apart
In the upper part of the sheet a partial human figure is drawn in red chalk, showing the torso and legs bent and splayed. The contour is summary and left unfinished. No text accompanies the study.
Barely sketched prone half figure
Below and to the left a second half figure is only lightly indicated, suggesting a body lying face down. The lines are faint and the study is scarcely begun. It appears to be a quick trial of pose.
