This drawing shows three robed figures in quick, sketchy lines. One holds a staff, another a scroll, and the third gestures with both hands. The paper is faded, and the outlines look rushed, like a quick study. The back of the paper has a loose sketch of hands—just red lines, barely filled in. These look like practice for the figures on the front. If you like this loose style, look up Renaissance sketches next.
