Fries met putto en twee dolfijnen 1527

This small, detailed engraving, titled "Fries met putto en twee dolfijnen" by Heinrich Aldegrever, is a fine example of the intricate work that defined the German Renaissance. The 16th century artist, known for his masterful use of line, depicts a putto (a winged cherub) positioned between two dolphins, which are rendered with realistic detail. The putto appears to be playfully holding the dolphins' tails, a charming and humorous scene. The overall composition, with its graceful curves and delicate lines, suggests a sense of movement and lightness, typical of Aldegrever's style.
