Relates to the theme of "The Invention of Portraiture" where a Corinthian maiden outlines in charcoal a profile of the shadow of her lover sleeping by a fire. Reverse side features some largely indefinable pencil sketches, relating to architectural/interior details in a painting, notably sketch of doorway- possibly church or palace- with steps leading down.
