This etching, *Tien ornamentkoppen*, by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli (1634-1718) depicts ten grotesque heads, each with a distinct expression and embellishment. Mitelli, a prominent Italian artist, was known for his mastery of drawing, which is evident in the detailed rendering of these whimsical figures. This work, created between 1644 and 1718, showcases the artist's ability to capture a range of emotions and the captivating nature of the grotesque. This print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a fine example of baroque art.
