"Hier hebje twaalf paar neusen / als reusen; Om eens te keppen / wie ze best gelyken" is a humorous engraving by Johannes (II) Kannewet from the 1700s depicting a series of exaggerated portraits with comically large noses. The engraving likely functioned as a popular print in the Netherlands during the 18th century, perhaps intended to be humorous or satirical. It is a prime example of caricature, a genre that uses exaggeration and distortion to create a humorous or critical representation of a subject. The artwork can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
