Costumed figure in a cope and head of a 'wild man'
A full standing figure wearing a cope, and a bearded 'wild man' head crowned with foliage
Two red-chalk figure studies for masquerade costume occupy the sheet. At the left a full-length standing figure is draped in a cope (piviale), with hands held at the waist. At the right is the head of a bearded 'wild man' (uomo salvatico), his head and collar wreathed in foliage. No written text accompanies the drawings; the description follows the museum's caption.
