Drie putti bij een aambeeld 1767 - 1780

"Drie putti bij een aambeeld" is a brown ink drawing created between 1767-1780 by Dutch artist Bernhard Schreuder. The drawing features three cherubs or putti in an interior setting. One cherub stands on a table and holds an object, while another lays down on the table and a third one stands to the side, holding a hammer and looking down at the laid-down cherub. This playful scene portrays a group of putti in a workshop setting, possibly hinting at the theme of creativity and artistic craft. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, a prominent Dutch museum showcasing Dutch art and history. This artwork exemplifies Schreuder's penchant for playful and delicate representations of the human figure in his drawings.
