Pen and sepia ink sketches on buff paper of a foreshortened leg, two feet, and an arm gripping a bar, studies of a crucified figure.

Study of Arms and Legs of Christ Crucified

Three pen and sepia ink studies on buff paper show fragmentary figure studies: a foreshortened leg and foot at left, a pair of legs and feet at center, and a hand gripping a horizontal bar with an arm at right. Loose hatching and dark accents model the forms against pale ground, suggesting an anatomical study of a crucified figure.
