Putto met speer en hoorn 1713

"Putto met speer en hoorn" (1713) is an etching by Italian artist Giovanni Girolamo Frezza (1671-1753). The artwork depicts a putto, a winged cherub, holding a spear in one hand and a horn in the other. The putto's body is depicted in a dynamic pose with a flowing drapery, creating a sense of movement and energy. The artist uses a delicate line to define the putto’s form, the intricate detail on the wings, and the textured background. The image is small, but the detail and the dramatic pose of the figure make it appear lifelike. This artwork is a fine example of Frezza's mastery of etching, a technique that was popular during the Baroque period, and it is representative of the artistic sensibilities of the early 18th century.
