Jacob de Wit's "Zwei Amoretten mit einem Hund und einem Schaf" (Two Cupids with a Dog and a Sheep) is a charming drawing showcasing the artist's skill in depicting delicate figures. The work features two cherubic figures, one holding a shepherd's crook, amidst a rustic scene. The figures' playful expressions and the presence of a dog and sheep create a sense of innocence and lightheartedness, typical of de Wit's style. While the exact date of the work is unknown, it is believed to have been created during the 18th century, highlighting the popular genre of idyllic pastoral scenes in Baroque art. The drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, Germany.
