Rubens painted studies of heads after live models and artistic sources, creating a cast of characters that served in turn as models for figures in religious and mythological works. The main figure here became a saint in a great altarpiece of 1609, a high priest in 1612, and a river god, then Plato (in an engraving after Rubens) in about 1615. The other head, derived from one by Mantegna, had a similar but shorter family tree. Rubens’s disciples Jacob Jordaens and especially Van Dyck followed the same practice.

The painting named Study of Two Heads was created by Peter Paul Rubens in 1609. The original measures the size: 27 1/2 x 20 1/2 in (69,9 x 52,1 cm).
