96 WHOLLY OR PARTIALLY AUTOGRAPH SHEETS CATALOGUE 9A.A seated figure in left profile, in pen.
This figure was no doubt conceived for an Ancestor; it seems to
have been pursued further on the verso of the study for theLibica
in the Metropolitan Museum (Inv. 24. 197. 2 verso/Corpus15 6;
black chalk, 288 × 213 mm).
B.A figure walking forward from right to left, in black
chalk, intersected by a pen line.
This sketch, which could well be for a narrative composi-
tion, might prepare the figure moving through the door in
theHaman.
C.A seated figure seen from the front, studying a book,
his left leg slightly raised above his right leg, in pen. This
is probably a revision of Cat. 14 verso D.
D.A forward-facing figure seated on the ground, lean-
ing against a vertical element to his/her right, turn-
ing and extending his/her hand to his/her left, in
pen.
Perhaps a preliminary idea for the figure seated in the doorway
in theHaman.E.A standing figure seen frontally, with both arms raised
to shoulder height and his right leg bent as though moving
forward, in black chalk.
Perhaps a first idea for the telamonputtobelowPersicha.
F. A standing figure, in left? profile, in black chalk; per-
haps another version of B.
G.A seated figure on a block seen frontally, with his right
leg raised, reading, in pen. This version was no doubt
drawn before C and H, which reduce its vigour. It is
difficult to know whether this sketch was intended for a
Prophet or an Ancestor, since the curved line to the left
could indicate either the profile of a pendentive or the
arch of a window, in which case the vertical that intersects
it would be the name board. On balance the compiler is
inclined to think it a sketch for a Prophet. This figure was
tried again on Cat. 14 verso D.
H.A three-quarter length, seated figure seen frontally,
reading, in pen. Probably a revision of G.
