A square and a cube, with a note on showing a model
A red-chalk solid repeating a figure from folio 63v, above a pen maxim on mutual benefit
Rotated on the leaf ('capovolto'), a red-chalk drawing pairs a small square above with a cube shown in perspective, its face crossed by diagonals; the e-Leo caption notes that it repeats a figure from folio 63v and adds 'another square.' Below, a line of pen writing gives a maxim: that seeing a model will bring benefit to both parties and to those who make that benefit possible. Faint offset from an adjacent leaf shows through at the top of the sheet.

Square and cube drawn in perspective
A plain square is set above a cube rendered in perspective, its front face crossed by diagonals that run to a shared point. Per the caption the cube repeats a figure from folio 63v, joined by a second, separate square.
Note on showing a model of mutual benefit
A pen note reflects that being shown a model will prove useful to both writer and reader, and to those who are the occasion of that benefit. The phrasing reads as a memorandum of persuasion rather than a technical entry.
