"Putti dansend rond een herme" (Putti Dancing Around a Herm) is a 1752 - 1819 drawing by Dutch artist Jurriaan Andriessen (1742 - 1819). The drawing depicts a classical herm, a headless statue, surrounded by four putti. The putti are shown dancing around the herm, and the drawing is executed in a light and airy style, which is characteristic of Andriessen's work. It is currently located in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and measures 79 mm in height and 57 mm in width. The drawing exemplifies Andriessen's keen interest in classical mythology and his skill in capturing the movement of human figures.
