"Angel" is a wooden sculpture by Ignaz Günther, a prominent Rococo sculptor, and is currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The bust, created between 1755 and 1775, is a striking example of Günther's mastery of woodcarving. It depicts a cherubic figure with a delicate, expressive face and flowing hair. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate carving of the angel's wings. This work is a testament to Günther's influence on the Rococo style in Germany.
