Schwebender Putto mit Triangel c. 1847

This pencil drawing by Moritz von Schwind, dated c. 1847, depicts a cherubic figure, or "putto," playing a triangle. The cherub's playful expression and dynamic pose are rendered with delicate detail, emphasizing the lightness and whimsy of the subject. This work, currently located in the Städel Museum, exemplifies Schwind's use of a simple, elegant style that became associated with the German Romantic movement.
