Hill profile with Rucano and Paradiso
Black-chalk topographic profile of a wooded ridge, two localities named
A black-chalk profile of a steep wooded ridge with softly hatched slopes, drawn as a topographic study of the hills south-east of Florence. Two small mirror-script labels on the crest name Rucano and Paradiso, localities repeated from the neighbouring survey drawings. The sheet belongs to the sequence of landscape profiles tied to Leonardo's survey of the Arno valley.

Named localities: Rucano, Paradiso
Two place-names are written against the drawn ridge, identifying real localities in the hill country around Florence. The labels give the landscape profile the character of a topographic survey record.
