This 1517 engraving, "Twee medaillons met putti op wolken", by Lucas van Leyden features two cherubs, or putti, situated within ornate medallions framed by swirling foliage. The left putto is a winged cupid, holding an arrow and a quiver, soaring through the clouds. The right putto appears to be a messenger, holding a cross-shaped staff. Created during the Northern Renaissance, this print exemplifies van Leyden's mastery of detail and meticulous technique, characteristic of his work. The work is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
