"Putti with Shield and Sword" is a pen and brown ink drawing on paper by Jacob de Wit, a Dutch artist known for his paintings and drawings of mythological and religious subjects. This drawing, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, depicts three cherubic figures playfully interacting with a shield and sword, possibly a study for a larger composition. The artist's signature "J. de Wit" is present in the lower left corner. The drawing's delicate lines and lively figures showcase de Wit's mastery of the human form, a signature element of his artistic style.
