Study of a left leg (recto); A seated man looking right (verso)

This bold, confidently executed leg study was connected by Mario di Giampaolo to Calvaert's Toilet of Venus in the Pincoteca of Cremona, but the same leg can further be found on other erotically themed paintings executed by the Flemish-born artist after 1600, like The Death of Cleopatra (M. Danieli, 'Pittura erotica tra Bologna e Praga: aggiunte a Denys Calvaert e Dirck de Quade van Ravesteyn', Czech and Slovak Journal of Humanities, 3, 2016, p. 40, figs. 1-2). The figure on the verso is inspired by Michelangelo's Saint Bartholomew from the Last Judgment.
