Two other drawings in pen and ink with wash depict vases or urns. Two other pen and ink drawings with wash at the top of the sheet depict architectural ornaments, though one may be a design for jewelry. At the bottom of the sheet is a drawing of a sarchophagus, in pen and ink with pencil; on the front panel is a drawing in pencil of city view, a classical-style building on the left, a forum in the middle, and two columns on the right.
