"Veertien verschillende koppen van mannen, vrouwen, dieren en mascarons" is a 1638 etching by Dutch artist Bartholomeus Breenbergh. This small print, measuring 115 mm in height and 81 mm in width, is a study of different heads, some human, some animal, and some grotesque masks, known as mascarons. This type of artwork is common in Breenbergh’s oeuvre and exemplifies the tradition of the "capriccio" drawing and printmaking popular at the time.
