Twee putti 1671 - 1726

This anonymous etching from the 17th or 18th century, titled "Twee putti," depicts two cherubic figures, or putti, in a playful interaction. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the enduring popularity of putti imagery in European art. The detailed rendering of the putti's anatomy, with their cherubic features and playful expressions, captures the innocence and vibrancy associated with these mythical figures.
