Figure Study: Legs of a Standing Man, Seen from Rear (r); Figure Study: Torso of a Man in Costume Leaning to Right (v)
Peter Frederick Rothermel
The figure on the recto seems to be wearing tights, which may mean he stands within a historical composition. The man on the verso has been cropped when the paper was trimmed, but details evident in the construction of his jacket also indicate a Renaissance costume.
