Evidence
"In this 14 x 18.3 cm remnant of a larger sketch, ink outlines of male bodies... the blank background offers no sense of scale"
Remarks
The paper substrate is characterized by its lack of situational context or pictorial depth, described as a 'blank background' (p. 12). This minimalism is part of a 'stripped-down visual and literary aesthetic' found in 15th-century Egyptian and Syrian works (p. 12).
