Lachende en huilende gezichtsuitdrukking 1692 - 1711

"Lachende en huilende gezichtsuitdrukking" (Laughing and Crying Facial Expressions) is an etching by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk, created between 1692 and 1711. The artwork depicts four different facial expressions - laughing, frowning, and crying - in profile and frontal views. Schenk's meticulous attention to detail and anatomical accuracy highlight the subtle nuances of human emotion, making this piece a valuable example of 17th-century anatomical and expressive studies. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Schenk's skill in capturing the complexity of human expressions.
