This sketch shows a simple, slanted shape like a roof or ramp, drawn in loose ink lines on thin paper. The lines are uneven, with some darker patches where the ink pooled. A few quick notes in German and French are scattered around the edges. The title is handwritten at the top—*"Im J.C. Nixmusis op einmals nach"*—which seems like a playful mix of words. The paper looks almost see-through, like it’s meant to be held up to light. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with layered lines.
