Vijf putti met bloemtakken 1778 - 1838

This pen-and-ink drawing by Anthonie van den Bos, titled "Vijf putti met bloemtakken," depicts five cherubs, known as putti, in an oval frame. The playful figures, rendered in a delicate and expressive style, are arranged in a dynamic composition, their limbs intertwined as they hold floral sprigs. This artwork, created between 1778 and 1838, showcases the artist's mastery of line and his ability to capture the innocence and charm of these celestial beings. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the 18th century.
