This anonymous etching, "Strook met trofee van putti," depicts a series of cherubs, or "putti," arranged in a vertical composition. Created before 1676, the print features a dynamic interplay of the cherubs' figures, creating a sense of movement and energy. The cherubs are depicted in various poses, some holding trophies or other objects. The work highlights the fascination with cherubs during this period, often used to symbolize love, innocence, and the divine. This small but intricate print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the detailed skill of the anonymous artist, utilizing subtle lines and hatching to bring life to the scene.
