"Four Putti Making and Drinking Wine" is an etching by the Italian Baroque artist Guercino, created between 1615 and 1625. The scene depicts four cherubic figures engaged in the process of winemaking, with one putto picking grapes from a vine, another crushing them in a barrel, and the other two filling and drinking from jugs. This etching, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, exemplifies Guercino's mastery of depicting playful and lively scenes with delicate and intricate details.
