Studies of two sailing boats
Rapid pen-and-chalk sketches of lateen-rigged sailing craft
The leaf carries two quick sketches of sailing craft, an upper boat drawn in pen with a raked lateen yard, masts and rigging over a rounded hull, and a smaller, fainter boat below in red chalk. Faint show-through of a pulley-and-weight diagram and mirrored text from the facing leaf is also visible but was not transcribed. No text was supplied for this page.

Two sketched sailing boats
An upper vessel is drawn with a curved hull, several masts and a long raked yard carrying a lateen sail, with rigging lines running to the deck. A second, lighter boat below repeats the hull and single raked spar in red chalk, as if trying the rig a second time.
