Een mannen- en een vrouwenkop met groteske hoeden en kragen 1636

This 1636 engraving by Denis Boutemie depicts a man and a woman's head with grotesque hats and collars. The man is wearing a feathered hat that is shaped like a bird, while the woman's hat is more abstract, with a large feather on top. The use of grotesque, fantastical elements in the hat designs is characteristic of the Mannerist style. Both heads are shown in profile, with the focus on the elaborate costumes and the ornate detail in the engravings. This piece is an example of the use of grotesque imagery in Renaissance art, which explores the relationship between the natural and the fantastical.
