Laocoön (recto)
The image depicts a sketch of three nude male figures. The central figure, muscular and imposing, stands facing right with their left leg raised and right leg bent. Their left arm bends up at the elbow and their right arm appears to hang down. The figure on the left, smaller in stature, stands on the left side of the central figure with their head thrown back and mouth open. Their arms are outstretched to the left. A third figure, partially drawn and indistinct, appears behind the central figure on the right. The background is a mottled brown color with darker spots and lines. The sketch appears to be drawn on a piece of aged paper.
