Four cherubs and a small boy standing 1646

"Four Cherubs and a Small Boy Standing" is an etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned 17th-century artist known for his precise and detailed prints. The artwork, created in 1646, features five cherubic figures, their youthful innocence and playful nature captured in Hollar's signature style. The delicate lines and shading of the etching bring out the soft curves and textures of the cherubs' bodies. The cherubs are depicted in a variety of poses, some standing, some embracing, and one holding a small, folded object. Hollar's careful observation of human form and his mastery of etching technique are evident in this evocative piece.
