Studies of a Male Torso and Left Leg (verso)1519-21Black chalk, traced with a stylus, 404 x 260 mm Teylers Museum, Haarlem | |

On the verso of this sheet Michelangelo drew studies at a later date than on the recto. The studies of a male torso and a bent leg can be connected with the artist's Victory group in the Palazzo Vecchio. The black chalk drawing on the recto is a study for the soldier holding a lance and running into the scene at the right edge of the cartoon for the Battle of Cascina. | |
