Notes
Rewald and Schniewind interpreted the unfinished sketch at the top of the bather figure to be a candlestick. Chappuis believes it to be the base of the lamp in 3006-28b/Ch332, but drawn by the artist's son. The two sketched figures are variants of "men participating in scenes of violence, as in 3006-34a, Ch289 and Ch937.
