This anonymous engraving, created before 1689, titled "Fries met een kind en twee putti," depicts three cherubs. Two of the cherubs are winged and hold wreaths, one holds a chain linked to a large wreath. The central cherub, seated on a large wreath, is holding a chain linked to the other two cherubs, creating a balanced composition. This piece is an example of the use of cherubs as decorative elements in art and reflects the popularity of this motif in the 17th century.
