About this work
Both sides of this sheet are covered with drawings, varying from quick sketches to fully elaborated figures. The paper was lightly rubbed with red chalk to enhance the white highlights. The figures are surrounded by fine hatching. The spontaneous drawing style suggests that the artist used it as a study sheet.
