A vertically oriented pencil sketch on aged, cream paper depicts two stylized animal heads in profile. Delicate graphite lines outline elongated features, protruding tongues, and decorative borders of small circles. Cursive labels like "Turq. gray" and "dark or purple" branch from the drawings, mapping out a future color palette. The composition has the intimate feel of an artist's study, focusing on the precise interplay of line and symbolic form.
