Indeterminate Sketches: Hatched Form and Line Studies
Faint red-chalk drawings whose subject the catalogue leaves undetermined
Faint red-chalk sketches fill the sheet, which the catalogue labels only as indeterminate diagrams. A rounded, hatched form is crossed by a diagonal beam that meets a horizontal bar carrying small rectangular teeth, and a dark blot marks their crossing like a pivot. A smaller triangular construction of ruled lines with tick-marks appears at the lower left. No transcribed text accompanies the drawings, and their exact purpose is left open.

Diagonal beam crossing a toothed bar at a pivot-like point
A long diagonal member runs across the sheet to meet a horizontal bar set with small rectangular teeth. Where the members cross, a dark accent reads like a hub or pivot beside a rounded, hatched body. The arrangement suggests a mechanical assembly, though the catalogue leaves it undetermined.
Ruled triangular line construction
At the lower left a small framework of straight ruled lines forms a narrow triangle, with short tick-marks laid along one edge. It is drawn separately from the larger hatched study above.
