The image shows two sketches of a figure. The left sketch depicts a woman with short hair wearing a dress and cape, seated and looking down, her right arm bent at the elbow and her left arm raised. Her left leg is bent and visible from the knee down. The right sketch shows a woman with short hair wearing a crown, a flowing dress, and a cape. She sits on a rock with a putto behind her to the right. The woman holds a staff in her left hand and her right hand is across her body. She is barefoot. The background of both sketches is mottled brown. The sketches appear to be drawn on aged paper. The style of the sketches suggests they are from the Renaissance period.
