Angel with Putti n.d.

Sebastiano Conca's "Angel with Putti" is a detailed pencil drawing depicting an angel with two cherubs. The central angel, with flowing drapery and large wings, reaches out to the cherubs, one of whom is pulling on a branch overhead, while the other appears to be reaching for something else. Conca, an Italian Baroque artist, is known for his dramatic compositions and realistic figures, evident in this preparatory study. The drawing's emphasis on form and movement reflects the typical Baroque fascination with dynamism and grandeur.
