bi3mw,
I really like this comparison! The pose and object are very similar indeed, and the similarity even applies to the curls of hair emerging from under the "physician's" headgear.
ETA: this makes me wonder if, rather than four ages of man or seasons, this folio might depict four professions or fields of study.
