"Drie maskers zonders hoorns" (Three masks without horns) is a 1611 etching by Dutch artist Pieter Feddes van Harlingen. The work depicts three grotesque, stylized human faces in profile with exaggerated features, thick hair and beards. Each face has an uncanny expression, adding to the eerie tone of the artwork. The etching is part of a larger series by van Harlingen that explored the grotesque and bizarre, drawing on a popular interest in the supernatural and the macabre during the 17th century. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
