Grimaces Pl. 1 – Male Emotions, Boilly Physiognomy, c.1823
Description:
This plate from Boilly’s famed Grimaces series focuses on exaggerated male facial expressions, arranged in a compact, sculptural grouping. Each head presents a distinct emotional state, demonstrating Boilly’s fascination with physiognomy and emotional taxonomy.
