Angel with Palm Seated on Clouds 1700 - 1750

"Angel with Palm Seated on Clouds," a pen and ink drawing by Pedro Duque Cornejo, depicts a winged angel seated on a cloud, holding a palm frond in its right hand. This small, delicate artwork, dating from the early 18th century, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the ethereal quality of angelic figures. The use of hatched lines to create the illusion of volume and texture, along with the dynamic composition, emphasizes the angel's celestial presence, creating a sense of spiritual grace.
