"Drie maskers, waarvan twee met hoorns" (Three Masks, Two of Which with Horns) is a 1611 etching by Dutch artist Pieter Feddes van Harlingen. This small, intricate artwork, measuring just 58mm by 113mm, depicts three grotesque masks, each with unique features. Two of the masks, adorned with horns, contribute to the overall sense of the uncanny and unusual. This etching showcases the artist's skill in capturing detailed expressions and textures, creating a striking visual experience for viewers. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to van Harlingen's talent for capturing the grotesque and fantastical within a small format.
