The sketches on this page are inverted relative to the foliation. The drawings are a continuation of those on folio 4 recto opposite (D35340), depicting sections of coastal cliffs. The upper three drawings on this page are simple outlines of the attenuating sections of a cliff, while that at the bottom suggests the surface texture of a wider section of cliff.
