Album 2, Leaf 18

The various drawings with multifigure scenes are pasted close together. The yellowish sheet at the bottom right differs noticeably from the lighter colour of the other sheets. This drawing is a tracing. The yellowed paper indicates that, while still blank, it was soaked in oil to make it transparent, allowing a design drawing to be placed beneath and copied.
