Putti met bloemen 1670 - 1697

This etching, "Putti met bloemen", was created by Dutch artist Paul van (II) Somer between 1670 and 1697. The artwork features a group of cherubs (putti) playing with flowers. Some are reaching for a crown of flowers held aloft by a cherub in the clouds, while others play on the ground below. Somer is best known for his intricate engravings of classical subjects and landscapes. The detailed depiction of the putti's playful expressions and the delicate texture of the flowers showcase Somer's skill as a draftsman and engraver. The piece is currently located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
