Vier ovalen met kinderen op zeewezens 1500 - 1635

"Vier ovalen met kinderen op zeewezens" is an anonymous 16th-century print featuring four oval medallions each depicting a cherub riding a fantastical sea creature. The cherubs are all depicted nude, with curly hair, and appear to be playing musical instruments. The sea creatures are depicted in detail, with scales and fins, and are often depicted in a playful or whimsical manner. The print is a fine example of the Renaissance fascination with the natural world and the artistic exploration of fantastical creatures. The print is small, measuring just 133 mm high and 154 mm wide.
