Putto Holding Sudarium n.d.

"Putto Holding Sudarium" is a pen and ink drawing by Cornelis Bloemaert, a prominent Dutch Baroque artist. The drawing depicts a cherubic figure, known as a putto, holding a cloth. The putto's wings are outstretched and its gaze is directed downward. The intricate hatching and cross-hatching in the drawing create a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the figure's delicate features. The drawing, now housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Bloemaert's mastery of line and detail, demonstrating his skillful ability to capture the essence of a cherubic figure.
