Putten mit Deckelvase und Amphora auf Wolken 

This is a preparatory drawing for a larger artwork by Venetian painter Gaspare Diziani, known for his decorative ceiling paintings. This sheet depicts putti, or chubby, winged baby angels, in various poses and arrangements against a background of clouds. The drawing is likely a study for a ceiling fresco or an altarpiece, highlighting Diziani’s interest in combining classical elements with the cherubic figures, a common motif in his work. The light, gestural style of the drawing gives a sense of movement and dynamism, typical of Venetian art. The sketch is now part of the collection of the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.
