Sliding Rod in Supports, a Male Profile, and Pen Sketches
Red-chalk columnar support and figure, a sliding rod, and indeterminate pen studies
In red chalk the page carries an upright columnar support crowned by a small figure at the upper left, and at the center a vertical rod that slides within a pair of supports. Several indeterminate figures are sketched in pen at the right, including crossed struts, arcs, and lever-like forms. The e-Leo caption also records a profile of a male face. No text is transcribed for this sheet.

Profile of a male face in red chalk
The e-Leo caption records a profile of a male face drawn in red chalk on this sheet. At the upper left an upright columnar support is surmounted by a small human figure executed in the same red chalk.
Rod sliding within its supports
A vertical rod runs down the center of the page, held so that it can slide within a pair of supports. It is drawn in red chalk with a hinged fitting near its lower end.
Indeterminate pen sketches
At the right several small figures are sketched in pen, including crossed struts, arcs, and lever-like forms whose purpose is left undetermined.
