DESCRIPTION:

Tools/Material:

- dry, black drawing material, dark chalk

Type/Ductus:

- freehand underdrawing (probably after a pre-existing design)

- delicate, fine lines

Function:

- relatively binding for the final painted version; the lines delineate the main contours, and describe essential details and facial features; no representation of volume with hatching-strokes

Deviations:

- minor corrections were made to forms during the painting process; small to larger changes for example figure and grid at the left in the background was not executed, faces and watchmen etc.
