This small, intricate engraving titled "Twee engeltjes tellen geld en twee engeltjes met rommel en fluit" by Nicolaes de Bruyn from 1594, depicts four cherubic figures engaging in various activities. Two cherubs play music, while another counts coins on a table and the last one seems to be holding a small drum. The image is an example of the Dutch Golden Age and it is a fine example of de Bruyn's artistry in depicting charming and playful scenes. The engraving is part of a series showcasing the frivolity of childhood, a theme popular during the Renaissance. You can find this artwork at the Rijksmuseum.
