"Study of Two Heads" is an oil painting created in 1609 by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, famous for his Baroque style. The painting is a study of two heads, one of a bearded man and another of an older man with a bald head. This artwork is characterized by its vibrant colors, dynamic brushstrokes and realistic portrayal of the human form. It exemplifies the skill and mastery of Rubens as a portrait artist, his understanding of light and shadow, and the dynamic way in which he captured the individualities of his subjects.
