Putto 1756 - 1776

Gilles Demarteau's "Putto" from 1756-1776 is a striking example of a print depicting a cherubic figure. The cherub, with its plump cheeks and rosy lips, is rendered in meticulous detail, with the artist utilizing subtle shading to bring the figure to life. Though the drawing is small, it is full of expression and energy, capturing the cherub's playful innocence with a delicate touch. This artwork was likely produced as an engraving or a print, using techniques that allowed Demarteau to reproduce his original work in multiple copies.
