Ceiling design_ Flora and putti 1726

Jacob de Wit's "Ceiling design_ Flora and putti" (1726) is a preparatory drawing for a ceiling fresco. It features a group of putti, or cherubs, in a heavenly setting. The putti are depicted amidst clouds, carrying a basket of flowers. The design, housed at the Städel Museum, reflects the artist's masterful use of light and shadow, adding depth and dimension to the scene. De Wit's work is known for its elegant figures and refined details, showcasing the artistry of the Rococo period. The image is a delightful example of a decorative art piece, likely intended for a grand interior setting.
