Study of a Curly-Haired Child
Pen study of a twisting infant, seen half-length
A small pen drawing depicts a curly-haired child seen half-length, the head turned in profile and the body twisting, with a cloth gathered and knotted about the lower torso and hips. The infant's plump forms and hair are worked up in fine pen strokes. A collection stamp appears at the lower left of the fragment.

Half-length study of a child
The child is shown from about the hips up, the curly head turned to the figure's right and the arms brought forward. A cloth is knotted around the waist and falls over the lower body. The pose emphasises the twist of a young body in movement.
