In this very light drawing, a young man faces the viewer with his hands on his hips and his left leg slightly turned out.  He wears a typical medieval Umbrian costume, with wide bell sleeves, a pleated short skirt, flat shoes, and a small-brimmed cap.  On his right hip, a bag hangs from his belted waist.  In the upper left corner of this drawing is another head, also lightly sketched
