Study for a triton with two putti and another for Neptune with a putto 1570 - 1654

"Study for a triton with two putti and another for Neptune with a putto" is a drawing by Giuseppe Alabardi, a prominent Italian artist of the 17th century. The drawing, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, showcases Alabardi's mastery of draftsmanship, with detailed figures of tritons, putti (cherubic figures), and Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. The composition is a study for a larger work, likely a painting or sculpture. The use of pen and ink creates a sense of movement and energy, hinting at the dynamism of the intended final piece. The drawing is a testament to Alabardi's skill in depicting mythological figures and their dramatic interactions.
