Print from Drawing Book is a 1615 ink by Luca Ciamberlano, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows two sides of a human head. One side looks normal. The other side is twisted—ears stretch long, hair curls wildly, and the face seems to melt. The lines are simple but sharp, like quick sketches. The right side looks almost like a monster. The artist played with how faces can change when viewed differently. This kind of odd mix was popular back then. Want to see more like this? Look up Baroque.
