Putto met rechthoek en passer before 1689

This anonymous etching, titled "Putto met rechthoek en passer", depicts a cherub holding a compass and set within an elaborate design of stylized foliage and two winged creatures. This intricate artwork is a prime example of a decorative ornament from the 17th century, likely used for architectural ornamentation. The fine detail and delicate lines of the engraving highlight the skill of the anonymous artist. The cherub's youthful presence and the decorative elements of the design point to the Renaissance artistic style that was popular in this era.
