A winged putto and turtle doves 1850 - 1900

Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise's "A winged putto and turtle doves" (1850-1900) is a charming depiction of a cherubic figure amidst a flock of doves. The putto, with a playful expression, is seen flying through a cloudy sky, scattering small objects around him. The gentle, pastel hues of the sky and the doves, coupled with the putto's innocent demeanor, create a serene and whimsical atmosphere. This artwork is a fine example of the Neoclassical style, characterized by its emphasis on beauty, harmony, and order. The putto and doves, along with the delicate palette, contribute to the overall sense of innocence and grace. The artwork is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
