Sheet titled "Sheet of Sketches (verso)" by Théodore Géricault. A yellowed, aged piece of paper with torn edges and scattered brown spots. The paper contains multiple sketches of nude figures in various dynamic poses. Three figures are located on the left side. The top figure, oriented horizontally with their head on the left, holds a bow and arrow. Below them, another figure lunges to the right, arms outstretched with one leg extended. A third figure near the middle lunges right with arms outstretched and torso leaning forward. In the center, one figure kneels on the left, another bends forward on the right. On the right side, three figures: one lunges forward at the top with sword raised; below, another lunges right; and at the bottom, a third lunges left. The background of the sketches is a uniform yellow-brown color with scattered brown spots.
