Its like she is judging the sacredos's form. And yet she is in the position that the students are in the other pages, yet its like a role reversal? Or perhaps that's the message of the last two pages where she appears in place of the male scholar? Role reversal. A couple of articles in Arms and Armour in the 2010s suggested these pages were salvaged and rebound from a larger work a very long time ago, the 1500s or before.

Is it up under the armpit or a little lower? Very nice recreation of the image as presented in the treatise, nice to see the lady looking more human and expressive.
