Gevleugeld engelenkopje 1706 - 1750

This drawing, titled "Gevleugeld engelenkopje" ("Winged Angel Head") was created by Dutch painter Cornelis Troost between 1706 and 1750. The drawing showcases Troost's talent for capturing the delicate features of a cherub's face, with a focus on the expressive eyes and soft contours. The use of chalk and wash allows for a subtle depiction of light and shadow, adding depth and dimension to the angelic figure. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of Troost's masterful drawing style and his frequent depiction of cherubs in his art.
