Español: Sacrificio de Noé

Un dibujo en aguada parda y tinta a pluma, dentro de un marco ovalado, muestra a un hombre barbado con túnica fluida sentado junto a un altar de bloques de piedra, con la mano alzada hacia el fuego. Un humo denso se eleva hacia el cielo, mientras figuras y una vasija aparecen a la izquierda bajo un paisaje tenue y esbozado.
