Twee liggende engeltjes leunen op schedel 1594

This etching by Nicolaes de Bruyn, titled “Twee liggende engeltjes leunen op schedel,” depicts four cherubic figures riding goats. The cherubs are nude and appear to be playing musical instruments while riding. This 1594 print exemplifies the Northern Renaissance interest in mythological and allegorical imagery. De Bruyn's masterful use of line and detail creates a sense of depth and dynamism in this small-scale work.
