This anonymous 17th-century charcoal drawing, titled "Head of Putto", is a study of a young boy's head. The delicate and expressive lines create a sense of movement and depth, capturing the innocent and wistful expression of the putto's face. The drawing's small size, measuring only 80 x 88 mm, suggests it was likely a preparatory study for a larger work. It is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, offering viewers a glimpse into the artistic process of an unknown artist from the Baroque era.
