content: Vertical sheet containing three sketches. Above, a detail of a winged, serpent-like creature resting its arms on a slanting support, and its tail curled upward. According to the artist's inscription, this is an "arm to a church stall". Below left is a small square building with steeply pitched roof and 'trapgevel' façade nestled in a dense stand of trees. At lower right, the steeple of a Romanesque masonry tower. The steeple has two octagonal levels, the uppermost topped by a tall cupola and small square tower with ball finial and weathervane.
