From "Bizzarie di varie Figure"

Giovanni Battista Bracelli

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures made of geometric shapes, mainly diamond patterns. The figures are in poses resembling dancers or performers, with one holding an object similar to an umbrella. The diamond tessellation forms a harlequin pattern on their bodies. The thin lines outline the figures and there is a sparse background, emphasizing the abstract shapes of the bodies.
