Two Formations of Grotesque Heads 1638

"Two Formations of Grotesque Heads" is an etching by Dutch artist Jacques de Gheyn III, created in 1638. The print depicts two formations of grotesque heads, each consisting of two overlapping profiles. The exaggerated features and contorted expressions create a sense of humor and whimsy, characteristic of de Gheyn's artistic style. This work is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City, providing a glimpse into the artist's fascination with the grotesque and his masterful command of the etching technique.
