"Geketende man met driekoppige roofvogel op het hoofd" (Chained Man with a Three-Headed Bird of Prey on his Head) is a 1893 woodcut by Dutch artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst. The artwork portrays a chained man with a three-headed bird of prey perched on his head. The dramatic composition, the use of chiaroscuro, and the symbolic imagery are characteristic of Holst's style, which blended elements of Symbolism, Art Nouveau, and Expressionism. This woodcut is considered one of his most significant works, embodying a complex blend of spiritual and psychological themes that reflect the anxieties of the late 19th century.
