A winged angel wearing a long billowing robe and holding a torch balances or lands on their left foot, on our right, in this vertical drawing. Created with dark brown ink against cream-white paper, the person is sketchily drawn so some of the details are indistinct. The right foot, on our left, is raised behind the angel, who looks down in that direction. A wing stretches out above, making an arc to our left. The edge of a column and base lines the right edge of the paper. The background behind the angel is slate blue. The drawing with the angel has been cut out near its edges and affixed to a sheet the same blue. Some white clouds billow up around the angel's feet.

This is a faint drawing of a person within an octagonal frame. The sketch portrays a nude male figure with soft facial features and curly hair. The man stands with one arm slightly extended and the other hand resting near his thigh, and his face is turned to the right. The background is gray, with the figure drawn in lines only slightly darker. Around the image, a frame has been drawn in brown lines on a white background.

This drawing shows a profile of a woman's head and upper torso, facing the right. The woman appears old, with wrinkly skin and white hair gathered into a bun. She has a wrinkled, sloping brow, a pointed, upturned nose, and thin, downturned lips. She has a hunch in her back, and the skin on her neck sags. She wears a low-cut, off-the-shoulder garment that appears to have laces in the front. A flower appears to be stuck between her breasts. The background is plain, off-white paper within a rectangular gold border.
