Studies van putti en rechtsonder H. Joris of Perseus 1710 - 1777

This is a study by French Rococo painter Charles-Joseph Natoire, created between 1710 and 1777. It depicts a collection of sketches of putti, or cherubic figures, in a variety of poses and activities, including playing with grapes, flying, and interacting with each other. The loose, expressive lines and the playful subject matter are characteristic of Natoire's Rococo style, which emphasizes grace, elegance, and a lightheartedness that appeals to a wide audience. The study offers a glimpse into the creative process of the artist, revealing the artist's initial ideas for a larger composition. This drawing provides a valuable insight into the artistic process, the use of putti as a motif, and the style of Natoire's work.
