From "Bizzarie di varie Figure" 1624

This etching from Giovanni Battista Bracelli's "Bizzarie di varie Figure" series, created in 1624, features two comical figures clad in elaborate armor, their bodies seemingly constructed of various weapons and tools. This playful depiction of military attire, common in Bracelli's work, utilizes the conventions of grotesque imagery, highlighting the absurdity of war and its accoutrements. The figures, rendered in delicate lines, exhibit exaggerated poses, adding to the humorous and slightly unsettling tone of the artwork.
