A sketch on a yellowed piece of paper featuring a rough outline of a figure with annotations indicating light and shadow directions. The text "rays random" is written at the top, and "shadow darker at" followed by "lighter nearer at bottom" is written at the bottom, suggesting notes on lighting for the drawing.
