The "class" would often move around to get different or better views of the model, and Fio, of course, sneaked in several portraits that way. The top drawing is of the young man's body, but Fiorella was drawn (pun intended) to the sensitiveness of his face.
You'll notice several light lines down the the model's face. That was because Fio was always estimating distances and perspective. The lines would have been erased if she had made the sketch into a full-blown portrait.
