"River God with Putti" is a drawing by Flemish artist Cornelis Schut, executed in the 17th century. The artwork depicts a river god reclining amidst tall reeds, while a putti, or winged cherub, emerges from the reeds above him, reaching towards a bird. Below, three putti appear to be engaged in a playful interaction. The composition is framed by an empty space at the top, suggesting this drawing may have been intended for a larger work or a decorative element. Schut's delicate lines capture the figures with a sense of movement and grace. This drawing is a fine example of Baroque-era draftsmanship and reflects the artist's talent for capturing the beauty of classical mythology.
