Español: Dios fluvial sentado, ninfa con remo y putto

Tinta de pluma y tinta parda con aguada amarilla y parda oscura sobre lápiz negro muestra a una figura masculina reclinada junto a una gran urna, mientras una segunda figura levanta un remo y un pequeño putto descansa a la derecha. Las figuras se sitúan sobre un papel pálido e inacabado, con una masa semejante a una nube debajo y contornos sueltos y bosquejados en las extremidades.
