Allegorie op kunsten en wetenschappen met vier putti 1741 - 1820

Abraham Delfos's "Allegorie op kunsten en wetenschappen met vier putti" is a 1741 - 1820 etching depicting four cherubic figures, each representing an art or science, floating amongst clouds. One cherub writes in a book, while another holds scrolls. This allegorical representation of art and science is characteristic of Dutch 18th-century engraving and was likely popular among art collectors at the time. The Rijksmuseum, where it is currently housed, holds a variety of etchings from Delfos and other prominent artists, showcasing the history of engraving in the Netherlands.
