“Phantoms in the Brain” by V.S. Ramachandran.
I’m not sure if that exact image is an original, but there is one remarkably similar found in Froissart’s Chronicles from the early 1470s: https://discardingimages.tumblr.com/post/58267835214/the-lute-player-and-the-harpist-froissarts
Search for “medieval marginalia” and you’ll find all kinds of similar weird stuff: https://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/the-most-bizarre-things-ever-to-be-found-hidden-in-medieval-art/84859940/?image=84859961 https://designyoutrust.com/2021/12/a-collection-of-medieval-marginalia-that-have-been-turned-into-memes/
There is also the painting “The Garden of Earthly Delights” by Hieronymus Bosch, which is entirely deranged: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Garden_of_Earthly_Delights
