Time Seated, Clutching a Putto 1696 - 1770

"Time Seated, Clutching a Putto," a pen and brown wash drawing by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, depicts a winged figure of Time seated and holding a putto. The drawing is a study for a larger painting, and showcases Tiepolo's mastery of the human form and his skill in capturing the movement and energy of his subjects. The use of brown wash creates a sense of depth and volume, further emphasizing the dynamism of the scene. The drawing is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
