Twee putti die palmbladeren vasthouden before 1689

This anonymous etching titled "Twee putti die palmbladeren vasthouden" (Two putti holding palm leaves) depicts two cherubic figures holding a large bundle of palm fronds, a symbol of victory and peace. Created before 1689, the artwork is a small-scale, detailed engraving, typical of the Dutch Baroque period. The artist utilizes chiaroscuro to create depth and a sense of movement within the composition, highlighting the delicate anatomy and playful interaction of the putti. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural trends of 17th-century Dutch art.
