"An Anthropomorphic Profile of a Man; and An Anthropomorphic Profile of a Woman" are a pair of oil paintings by the Italian Baroque painter Giovanni Stanchi, known for his still-life works and contributions to the genre of vanitas paintings. These particular works are notable for their unique blend of portraiture and still life, where the profiles of a man and a woman are ingeniously composed of various fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other objects, creating a striking visual pun known as an arcimboldesque.

Created in the 17th century, these paintings reflect the Mannerist fascination with riddles, puzzles, and the blending of nature with the human form, a style popularized by the earlier artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Stanchi's anthropomorphic profiles are a testament to the enduring influence of Arcimboldo's work and exemplify the playful and imaginative spirit of the period.

The male profile is typically composed of items such as root vegetables, branches, and game, symbolizing masculine attributes of strength and stability. In contrast, the female profile often features delicate flowers, fruits, and foliage, reflecting the contemporary ideals of feminine beauty and fertility. These paintings not only showcase Stanchi's skill in rendering intricate details and textures but also offer insight into the gender perceptions of the time.

While the exact date of creation is not definitively known, these works are part of Stanchi's mature period and are often highlighted for their technical mastery and conceptual creativity. The paintings are also significant for their contribution to the still-life genre, which gained prominence in the 17th century, and for their role in the broader context of European art history, where they serve as an example of the era's interest in allegory, symbolism, and the natural world.

Today, "An Anthropomorphic Profile of a Man; and An Anthropomorphic Profile of a Woman" are appreciated for their whimsical and innovative approach to portraiture and still life, and they continue to captivate audiences with their visual wit and historical significance. These works are housed in prominent art collections and are studied for their contribution to the development of anthropomorphic art and the still-life tradition.
