A vertically oriented ink drawing on vellum features a cream-colored page within an open bound volume. Two concentric, dark-red rectangles frame the blank surface with hand-drawn lines of varying thickness. To the left, the stacked edges of previous pages reveal hints of gold and white. The vellum exhibits a mottled texture with scattered dark spots, highlighting the handmade and historical nature of the folio.
