"Schwebende und spielende Amoretten" is a drawing by Jacob de Wit, a Dutch artist known for his drawings and paintings. This sketch, likely a preparatory study for a larger work, depicts two putti, or cherubic figures. One is depicted in flight, while the other sits kneeling on the ground. The loose and gestural lines of the drawing suggest a sense of spontaneity and energy. The drawing’s subject matter – amorous, playful putti – was a popular theme in Baroque art, and would have been familiar to contemporary audiences. The drawing is now part of the Städel Museum’s collection.
