Putto met hond 1713

This 1713 etching by Giovanni Girolamo Frezza, titled "Putto met hond," portrays a cherubic figure, or putto, embracing a dog. The artwork features a detailed depiction of the putto's anatomy and the dog's fur, creating a sense of realism. The composition, with the figures perched on a cloud, adds a whimsical and celestial element to the scene. This piece is characteristic of Frezza's style, which often featured religious and mythological themes executed with a meticulous approach. The small dimensions of the etching, measuring 180 mm x 161 mm, suggest its likely function as a private devotional piece or a study for a larger work.
