Alfabeto Di Lettere Iniziale 1740 - 1760

This intricate design, "Alfabeto Di Lettere Iniziale," created between 1740 and 1760 by Mauro Poggi, exemplifies the Rococo style's penchant for playful asymmetry and elaborate ornamentation. The drawing features two cherubs intertwined with stylized foliage, each interacting with a bird. These elements are arranged in a dynamic, yet balanced composition, showcasing Poggi's mastery of line and form. The delicate hatching and subtle shading add depth and dimension to the design, making it ideal for decorative applications, perhaps as a template for book illustrations or architectural embellishment.
