Twee putti bij een wapenschild 1731 - 1779

"Twee putti bij een wapenschild" (Two putti at a coat of arms) is an engraving created by Dutch artist Jan Punt in the late 18th century. It shows two cherubic figures, or putti, flanking a coat of arms, a common motif in heraldic art. The etching depicts a highly detailed and realistic style, capturing the playful and innocent nature of the cherubs as they interact with the heraldic symbol. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Punt's mastery of engraving and the popularity of this artistic genre during his lifetime.
