Putto met wapenuitrusting 1550

This small, detailed engraving by Heinrich Aldegrever, created in 1550, depicts a winged putto kneeling with a sword and holding a helmet above its head. The artwork is an example of Northern Renaissance art, focusing on precise detail and fine craftsmanship. The composition is vertically oriented, with the putto occupying the majority of the space. The intricate detail on the armor, sword, and putto's body further emphasizes the fine quality of the piece. The small size of the engraving suggests it was likely created as a personal devotional artwork or part of a larger collection. "Putto met wapenuitrusting" is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
