sketch in red chalk, which most probably is intended to represent  
the facade of a palace. Inside is the short note 7 he 7 (7 and 7).  
MS. J2 8a (see pages 68 Fig. 1 and 2) contains a view of an unknown  
palace. Its plan is indicated at the side.  
In MS. Br. M. 126a(see Fig. 3 on page 68) there is a sketch of a
