This drawing by Jacob de Wit, a Dutch artist known for his decorative work, features a scene of putti, or cherubs, decorating a statue of Pan, the Greek god of the wild. The work is a study for a larger decorative piece, likely a fresco or mural. The use of brown wash and pen creates a sense of movement and depth, suggesting the light and shadow of a three-dimensional space. The putti are depicted in playful poses, adorning the statue with garlands and other decorative elements. The image is an example of Rococo art, a style that emphasized playful and decorative themes. This drawing is held at the Städel Museum, and is an important piece in understanding de Wit's artistic process and his contribution to the Rococo aesthetic.
