From "Bizzarie di varie Figure"

Giovanni Battista Bracelli

National Gallery of Art

The image displays irregular, angular shapes and lines forming two abstract figures resembling human skeletons. The figure on the left consists of a helmet-like head with a chain and square shapes for the torso, along with elongated lines and geometrical joints for limbs. The figure on the right has a drip-like head with a funnel crown and a body composed of straight and slanted lines, appearing like a cloaked figure beside a bookcase or storage shelf. Both figures suggest a connection to mechanical or puppet-like objects with various utensils, merging into an abstract representation of kitchenware resembling humanoid forms.
