Faint Figure Sketch (Verso)
A rubbed black-chalk sketch of one or more standing figures, very lightly preserved
The verso bears a faint, heavily rubbed sketch in black chalk, showing what appears to be one or more standing draped figures. The contours are soft and broken, and much of the design is lost to abrasion and the toning of the paper, making the subject difficult to read with certainty. No text is present.

Faint standing figure
A rubbed passage of black chalk near the center suggests a standing figure with an inclined head and drapery falling from the body, flanked by fainter forms. The strokes are so worn that the pose can only be guessed at.
