"Zwei nach links fliegende Amoretten" is a red chalk drawing by the Italian Baroque painter Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, 1591-1666) and is currently housed at the Städel Museum. This drawing depicts two cherubs flying to the left, their wings spread and bodies twisting in the air. The drawing shows the artist's mastery of human anatomy and his ability to capture the movement and energy of his subjects, typical of Baroque drawings. The use of red chalk gives the drawing a sense of warmth and immediacy, adding a sense of depth and detail to the composition. The work is a testament to Guercino's skill as a draftsman, allowing us to appreciate the artistic process of a master of the Italian Baroque period.
