Twee putti 1671 - 1726

"Twee putti" (Two Putti) is a 17th-century etching by an anonymous artist, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts two cherubic figures, or putti, in a simple composition. The figures are rendered in a realistic style with detailed anatomy, a characteristic of Dutch Renaissance art. The print's small dimensions suggest it was likely intended as a study for a larger work or as a personal piece for the artist's own use. "Twee putti" is a valuable example of the study of the human figure in Dutch art, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering anatomical details and capturing the innocence of the putti.
