This anonymous 18th-century engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two men's heads in profile. The work, created in the style of portraiture, likely served as a commemoration or a record of the individuals. The detail of the men's hairstyles and clothing reflects the fashion of the period, offering insights into the social and cultural context of the time. The simple yet expressive line work, typical of the 18th-century printmaking, captures the likenesses of the subjects in a subtle and nuanced way. The work, despite its anonymity, offers a glimpse into the lives of individuals from a bygone era.
