Color sketch of two figures wrapped together with red bandages on a rug with a single candle. A figure with purple skin wraps a bandage around a figure with green skin in shock. Around this drawing are pen and pencil sketches of different components of the color illustration including the back, face and eyes of the figure with green skin.
This page is a color sketch for Double Mummification. Redrawn in various iterations:

Papa 127 (this drawing) -
Papa 129 (bandage) -
Papa 131 (bandage) -
Quebec 85
This version emphasizes an occult atmosphere with a reaction of horror. As the annotation, "second thoughts" implies on Papa 126, this drawing depicts one figure in extreme regret where Papa 117 figures it more as a mutually constitutive activity.
