Pen and black chalk drawings: plan for pavilion with portico and circular hall; plan for part of an interior; outline of a building. The plan is a rough variation of the plan on the recto, and both can be compared to other small plans attributed to Dewez, see particularly Adam vol.9/4, as well as Robert Adam's exercises on a similar theme. The composition is similar to that in Adam vol.9/49.
