Two separate studies on the recto show details of the hand offering a vessel at top left, and a drapery study at the bottom. It is a preparatory figure study for an unknown painting, possibly an Adoration of the Magi. Roncalli used this drawing to study the fall of light on the drapery folds of the figure, while the face is rendered masterfully through a few light strokes, without details and minimal shading.
