Acht dansende putti met exotische planten en dieren 1610 - 1640

"Acht dansende putti met exotische planten en dieren" is an etching by Antoine Jacquard, a Dutch artist who lived from 1620-1650. The print, dating to the period of 1610-1640, features eight dancing cherubs, or putti, situated within a series of arched frames. Each putti interacts with exotic plants and animals, adding a playful and fantastical element to the scene. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, measures 45 mm in height and 141 mm in width. Jacquard's detailed style is evident in the intricate depiction of the putti's anatomy and the lush foliage that surrounds them.
