Two Women Seated on a Cloud, and Two Putti 1696 - 1770

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo was a renowned Italian painter of the Rococo period. "Two Women Seated on a Cloud, and Two Putti" is a pen and brown wash drawing that highlights Tiepolo's mastery of line and the graceful elegance of his figures. The drawing's light wash and soft contours contribute to a sense of airy lightness and movement. The composition features two women draped in flowing robes, seated upon a cloud, alongside two putti. The two women, likely allegorical figures, gaze at each other, while the putti playfully embrace the cloud below. This work exemplifies the Rococo style and the artist's skill in capturing the essence of the period's decorative spirit.
