Drawings of bodies fill the left half of this vertical, parchment-colored paper, and writing fills the right half. The drawings and writing are in dark brown ink, and lines from the other side of the sheet show through, creating blurred forms. On the left, several nude male bodies are loosely drawn and appear upside down in this view. Their actions are indistinct but they gesture and turn. The right half is filled with horizontal lines of hand-written text and numbers. A vertical line splitting the two halves was presumably made when folded in half at some point in the sheet's history.
