DescriptionThree ink sketches of a woman in profile. The top sketch is a line drawing tracing a woman's face in profile from forehead to chin. A lower sketch depicts a bust of a woman in profile drawn within an oval shape. A sketch to the left of this repeats the shape of the woman very loosely, with broader shoulders.

This page also features ink spots which have been copied from or to Folio 30 recto.

According to Alex Kidson's catalogue raisonne of Romney's works (2015), the sketch within an oval is thought to depict Viscountess Elizabeth Melbourne in Romney's first society-portrait on an oval canvas.
