Herfst en Winter c. 1705 - 1754

"Herfst en Winter" (Autumn and Winter) is a drawing created by Dutch artist Jacob de Wit, around the first half of the 18th century. The drawing depicts two cherubs, one stirring a pot while the other holds a long-handled object. The scene is set against a background of architectural elements and a decorative cherub. De Wit's use of grey washes and pen and ink creates a delicate and refined atmosphere. The artist was known for his allegorical works, which often featured cherubs symbolizing different seasons or virtues, like in this particular work.
