Bellenblazende putti 1778 - 1838

This 18th-century drawing by Anthonie van den Bos depicts four cherubs, or putti, engaged in playful activities. The cherubs are drawn in a light, elegant style, with delicate lines and a sense of movement. The artist's use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and dimension, bringing the putti to life on the page. The drawing, titled "Bellenblazende putti," is a charming example of the Dutch artist's work and showcases the artist's ability to capture the innocence and joy of childhood. The work is a fine example of a genre known as "putti drawings" that was particularly popular in the Netherlands during the 18th century.
