Buste van een putto 1742

"Buste van een putto" is a 1742 etching by Dutch anatomist and artist Petrus Camper. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a detailed bust of a putto, a winged cherub often featured in Renaissance and Baroque art. Camper's meticulous attention to anatomical detail is evident in the rendering of the putto's face, hair, and neck. The etching, measuring just 107mm by 80mm, is a testament to Camper's skills as a draftsman and his interest in the human form.
