This engraving by Barthel Beham, dating from 1515 to 1540, depicts a winged cherub, a common motif in Renaissance art, holding a scroll and floating on a globe above a landscape. Beham, a German printmaker, was known for his detailed and expressive style, which is evident in the intricate rendering of the cherub's features and the surrounding environment. The image, a testament to the artistic ingenuity of the time, is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
