Putto zittend op een bok 1512 - 1560

This 16th century German engraving by Heinrich Aldegrever, titled "Putto zittend op een bok," depicts a cherubic figure, or putto, with feathered wings, riding a goat and holding a vessel. The composition's detail and lifelike portrayal of the figures highlight Aldegrever's skill as an engraver, particularly in his depiction of the cherub's delicate features and the goat's textured fur. This small-scale print, crafted using the techniques of etching and engraving, exemplifies the artist's characteristic style and attention to detail, reflecting the artistic currents of the German Renaissance.
