"Het element water" is a drawing by Jacob de Wit, dating from 1705-1754. The drawing depicts four cherubs, or winged infants, playing among clouds within a circular frame. The cherubs are depicted in a playful and whimsical manner, with their wings outstretched and their bodies contorted in various positions. The drawing is rendered in delicate lines and shadows, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The artwork likely served as a design for a ceiling decoration or other decorative element in a grand residence.
