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.

Shown from the waist up, a pale-skinned, round-cheeked young boy wears a brocade red and gold garment and hat in this vertical portrait painting. The boy’s body is angled to our left, but he turns his face toward us as he looks slightly down with gray eyes. He has a square face with a high forehead, faint brows, a small, rounded nose, bow-shaped pink lips, and a pointed chin. A fringe of pale blond hair lines the top of his head under a gold cap that ties under his chin. A white feather drops off the edge of a red disk around the top of the hat. His brilliant red garment is lined with gold bands, and the sleeves split over voluminous gold sleeves, which are lined with white ruffles at the wrists. The boy is behind a ledge draped with a crinkled, emerald-green cloth. He rests one hand on the ledge and holds a gold orb on a stick in that hand. His other hand hovers over the ledge with the palm facing out. The background is late gray. A strip of paper affixed to the front face of the ledge has eight lines of Latin text in all caps. It reads, “PARVVLE PATRISSA, PATRIÆ VIRTVTIS ET HÆRES ESTO, NIHIL MAIVS MAXIMVS ORBIS HABET. GNATVM VIX POSSVNT COELVM ET NATVRA DEDISSE, HVIVS QVEM PATRIS, VICTVS HONORET HONOS.
