It seems I confused f85r2 with f86v. Anyway, we have the thread about You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ("four ages men"), so let it be the thread about f86v4. I compared the four figures of f85r2 and the four figures of 86v4, where the latter are sequenced clockwise and counterclockwise to understand more their similarity and difference. The main impression " the three against the one" or, maybe, "the three meeting the one". I wonder what this one differs by.

I'm sure it was discussed earlier somewhere, but I can't find it right now, therefore I'll note here.
Counting clockwise from the top of f86v4:
1. the figure standing backwards with something that reminds a little tree or a pot with some herb;
2. the figure that holds some rounded objects and possibly throws one of them, there are also some dots, maybe, it means sowing of seeds;
3. the figure that holds objects similar to bread or cakes;
4. the figure that holds something that reminds a bunch of grass or spikelets in the left hand and a medicinal jar in the right hand.
For what it's worth, I tried to identify the individual characters.  I came to a conclusion about three out of four. However, it's not clear to me how it could all fit together.

1.) A Jewish man (nose) with the gesture "digitus virilis" (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.).

2.) A physician holding a matula up to the light (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.).

3.) A woman spinning wool on a spinning wheel (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.).

edit:

4.) May be a herbalist ( herbarius ). Well, one can't exactly say that he holds the plant in his hand.
I have a blog on this folio. I thought I would get it posted in April. All that's missing is two pics I couldn't locate on my hard drive. I'm sorry, I can't post it until the weekend. I'm extremely busy with work right now. I'll try to get it posted Saturday.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. says that "The sex of the figures is indeterminate, as neither breasts nor beards are visible", but I think that the Left and Right figures do have breasts (the case for Bottom seems to be less clear, though the costume suggests a woman).
I agree about the breasts, comparing them with the Zodiac was a good idea. These figures are extra tricky because their hair style is hard to distinguish from that of the men. And the figure with the orb has confusing headgear.
The one with the breasts really looks like that. The question is it intentional or rather a drawing variable.

Now without looking again.
What speaks against it is that I actually have not seen a female person with short hair when she was depicted naked.
Am I wrong there?
And from the male hairstyle it is always the Beatles hairstyle (mushroom head). Which is actually common at this time.

Yes Wink 
There are many examples. These are all from the page with Leo and Virgo on it. If there is a difference between the hairstyles of these three female and one male figures, it must be extremely subtle.

Yes, you're right, they have a Beatles_hairstyle too.

According to that, there is no security like that either.
Good to know
Yesterday I wrote a You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., for the first time in a long time. Due to the current circumstances, I didn't have the time, energy, or desire to write anything, but I can't just leave it like that. My post also concerns f85r2, but not only that. I will be happy to share my thoughts after a long break.
Good reading. It is always interesting to see how others see things.
For example, I have always looked the F85r2 as the sun is looking to the east, east is rising something symbolic for the rising sun, and the top and bottom are leaning to the east to welcome the rising sun. The west is blowing the darkness away.
