Twee putti 1778 - 1838

"Twee putti" (1778-1838) is a delicate pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Anthonie van den Bos (1763-1838). The artwork, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two cherubs, known as putti, amidst swirling clouds. One cherub holds a spear and the other a laurel wreath, symbolizing victory and honor. This small-scale piece is characteristic of van den Bos's meticulous style and his frequent use of classical imagery.
