As part of a sketchbook that served a purely private, practical function, some pages contain unfinished thoughts. Edgar Degas used his sketchbook pages to swiftly record a gesture or expression as well as the beginnings of an idea. Here he began a simple doodle showing a plant on a table and a mirror behind it on the left, with the corner of a room and a cage-like structure visible at the left.
