Putti with Mirrors 1725 - 1744

Jacob de Wit's "Putti with Mirrors" (1725 - 1744) is a charming oil painting that depicts seven cherubic figures interacting with ornate mirrors. De Wit's mastery of light and shadow, particularly noticeable in the cherubs' rounded forms, contributes to the painting's vibrant and whimsical atmosphere. The cherubs' playful interactions with the mirrors reflect the Rococo period's emphasis on frivolity and the pursuit of pleasure. "Putti with Mirrors" is a prime example of de Wit's style, marked by a lightness of touch, delicate lines, and a whimsical depiction of cherubs, common subjects in Baroque and Rococo art.
