Wenceslaus Hollar's "Three Children's Heads" (1645) is a masterful example of the artist's detailed etching style. The three heads are presented in profile, their delicate features rendered with remarkable precision. Hollar's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume, bringing the children's faces to life on the page. This drawing showcases Hollar's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with meticulous detail, reflecting the artistic trends of the 17th century. The artwork is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
