Jacob de Wit's "Five angel heads in clouds" is a delicate drawing of five cherubic figures rendered in pen and wash on paper. The cherubs are depicted against a cloudy background, with their wings and curly hair carefully detailed. The work, housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies de Wit's skill in capturing the innocent beauty of angelic subjects. This drawing may have served as a preparatory study for a larger painting, showcasing de Wit's artistic process and his mastery of figure drawing. De Wit's talent for capturing the beauty of angels and cherubs was highly sought after in his time, making this drawing a compelling example of his style and skill.
