"Two Male Heads" is a notable work by the 18th-century Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Piazzetta (1682–1754). Known for his mastery in capturing the human figure and his innovative use of chiaroscuro, Piazzetta's artistry is exemplified in this drawing which showcases his skill in portraiture and expression. The work is characterized by its striking use of light and shadow, a technique that Piazzetta is often credited with bringing to Venetian painting, influenced by the tenebrism of Caravaggio and the Bolognese school.

The drawing features two male figures, depicted in profile, which is a testament to Piazzetta's interest in physiognomy and his study of human emotion through facial expressions. The medium used for "Two Male Heads" is typically chalk on paper, a common choice for artists of the time for its versatility and the soft, nuanced lines it can produce. Piazzetta's use of this medium allowed him to create a sense of depth and realism that was highly admired by his contemporaries and has continued to be appreciated by art historians and collectors.

"Two Male Heads" is not only significant for its aesthetic qualities but also for its contribution to the understanding of Piazzetta's working methods. Studies such as this were often preparatory works for larger compositions, giving insight into the artist's creative process. The drawing serves as an example of the artist's preparatory works that were highly sought after by collectors during his lifetime and remain so today.

The exact date of creation for "Two Male Heads" is not definitively known, but it is generally attributed to Piazzetta's mature period, when his distinctive style was fully developed.
