"Putto between vines" is a pencil drawing by the German Romantic artist Moritz von Schwind (1804-1871) currently held in the Städel Museum. It is a preparatory sketch for a larger work and features a nude putto, or cherub, amidst swirling, vine-like forms. The delicate lines of the drawing suggest a sense of movement and whimsy typical of Schwind's style. The subject of putti, often depicted in Renaissance art, was a popular theme for Schwind, who often imbued them with a sense of playful innocence.
