Putto zittend op een boog, van onderaf gezien 1588 - 1615

This red chalk drawing by Italian artist Bartolomeo Schedoni, created sometime between 1588 and 1615, depicts a putto, a winged cherub, in a dynamic pose. The putto is depicted from a low angle, sitting on a curved surface with one arm outstretched and the other resting on the surface. This drawing likely served as a study for a larger work and demonstrates Schedoni’s mastery of figure drawing. The detailed rendering of the putto's anatomy, particularly the delicate features of the face, is a testament to the artist's skill. The use of red chalk contributes to the overall sense of warmth and life in the drawing.
