Moritz von Schwind's "Schwebender Putto mit Traube und Trinkschale" is a pencil drawing on paper, created in 1847. The artwork depicts a cherubic putto, or winged baby angel, floating in the air with a goblet in one hand and a bunch of grapes in the other. The drawing is housed in the Städel Museum, and showcases Schwind's mastery of the Neoclassical style, which was popular in the 19th century, while hinting at the Romantic influences that would dominate his later work.
