A male nude seen from the back (recto and verso)

As suggested by Miles Chappell in the 1985 catalogue this sheet may be related to a pen and ink drawing, showing a figure in similar pose and also seen from the back, offered at Christie's, London, 11-13 December 1985, lot 194. Seven drawings, including this one, were offered in 1985 (lot 193 being now in the British Museum, London; inv. 1986,0621.42), all bearing similar ink inscription 'Cigoli' as on the recto of the present drawing.
