Putti met een guirlande van vruchten 1640 - 1660

"Putti met een guirlande van vruchten" (Putti with a Garland of Fruit) is a black chalk drawing by Dutch artist Pieter de Porck created between 1640 and 1660. The drawing features five cherubs or putti flying, suggesting a lively and playful scene. Some putti hold garlands, one appears to be carrying a basket of fruit, and another holds a bunch of grapes. The delicate lines and light shading of the drawing showcase de Porck's skill in capturing the movement and innocence of his subjects. This drawing provides a glimpse into the artistic practice of the period and the popularity of cherubic figures in Baroque art.
