Twee putti die een bol dragen 1512 - 1610

"Twee putti die een bol dragen" is a small, anonymous engraving from the 16th century that depicts two cherubs, or putti, carrying a large orb between them. The use of putti was a popular motif in art, particularly during the Renaissance, symbolizing innocence, love, and divine inspiration. This engraving, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, measures just 54 mm in height and 40 mm in width, and is a fine example of the intricate detail and delicate lines characteristic of printmaking during this period.
