From "Bizzarie di varie Figure"

Giovanni Battista Bracelli

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two humanoid figures created from interconnected geometric shapes and lines. The design features diamond and square shapes linked by lines, forming intricate patterns resembling chain-like structures for the limbs and bodies. The figures bear a resemblance to robotic or mechanical beings, reminiscent of armor or exoskeletons in a science fiction context. The left figure is designed with more diamond shapes forming a lattice pattern, while the right figure incorporates more rectangular forms, suggesting a dynamic pose.
