About this work

This drawing shows two pages of a detailed list of stage props for a play. The top page includes items like vases, musical instruments, a basket, and a mask. The bottom page has chairs, a footstool, a mirror, and a scroll. Each item is labeled with letters and short descriptions. The drawings are simple but precise, focusing on everyday objects used in theater. The labels suggest these were meant to help stagehands prepare for a performance. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of these kinds of sketches.
