Inscribed by John Ruskin in red ink ‘22’ bottom right

This very slight fragment of drawing may be interpreted as a continuation of the sketch on folios 20 verso–21 recto (D02423–D02424), on the analogy of that on folio 16 recto (D02416) and the pages preceding it, though the match in this case is less precise.
