Allegorie op vrede met drie putti in cartouche 1741 - 1820

This etching, "Allegorie op vrede met drie putti in cartouche," created between 1741 and 1820 by Abraham Delfos, showcases three cherubs (putti) symbolizing peace. The central cherub, hovering in the clouds, holds an olive branch, a traditional symbol of peace, while two cherubs below break a spear, representing the end of war. The intricate cartouche frame further enhances the artwork's Baroque style and emphasizes the theme of peace. This small, delicate work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Delfos's talent for capturing allegorical themes through fine linework and evocative imagery.
