Two Seated Putti n.d.

This anonymous red chalk drawing, “Two Seated Putti,” is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. The drawing depicts two cherubic figures, known as putti, in a seated pose. The artist's skillful use of line and shading creates a sense of volume and movement, making the figures appear almost lifelike. This work exemplifies the study of the human figure, which was central to Renaissance art.
