"Twee putti zittend voor frontons" (Two Putti Seated Before Frontons) is a pen and ink drawing by Flemish artist Pierre Firens, created between 1613 and 1657. This design shows two cherubs seated on ornate sculpted brackets, flanking a decorative archway. The cherubs engage in playful activities, with one holding a wreath of leaves and the other blowing a trumpet, creating a sense of lively energy and architectural detail. The drawing exemplifies Firens' talent for combining classical motifs with Baroque dynamism, contributing to the development of decorative arts in 17th century Europe.
