Faces drawn in profile
Several heads are sketched in profile in red chalk, studied for their features and headgear. They belong to the notebook's designs for masquerade figures.
Large hats with a long rear appendage
The upper part of the sheet shows broad, elaborate hats each carrying a long appendage trailing behind. These are decorative headpieces intended for masquerade costume.
