A Flying Angel (recto); Studies of Hands Playing Instruments (verso)
The drawing on the left side depicts a winged figure with their right arm raised and their left arm bent at the elbow. The figure appears to be wearing a flowing garment that is draped around their body. Their right leg is extended behind them, while their left leg is bent at the knee. The figure has large wings extending from their back. On the right side of the image, there are sketches of hands playing instruments. The top sketch shows a hand holding what appears to be a stringed instrument, while the bottom sketch depicts a hand playing a keyboard instrument. The background of both drawings is a light-colored paper with visible signs of aging and wear.
