Design for a Vessel (Sauceboat?), Pen and brown ink, brush and brown, gray wash, black chalk on cream laid paper, lined, Boat-shaped vessel supported by baluster pedestal on either side of which two nudes sit with arms raised appearing to support the vessel. The curving body of a long-necked winged harpie rests beneath the spout or prow of the ship.

Other decorative elements include a ram's head (in the center) and an eye
