Winding Stretch of a River
Red-chalk study of a river's meandering course, marked 'transverse'
A freehand red-chalk drawing of a strongly meandering river, its banks sketched as long sinuous parallel curves running down the sheet. The e-Leo heading describes it as a winding stretch of a river, and the single transcribed word marks a 'transverse' reference. The study belongs to the notebook's sequence on the movement and course of river water.

Meandering course of a river
Sinuous parallel lines trace the twisting banks of a river as it doubles back on itself. The lone annotation 'transverse' appears to mark a cross-line against the river's winding flow, consistent with the notebook's studies of currents in bends.
