Abraham Delfos’ “Putto” is a simple yet expressive drawing of a cherub. The cherub is depicted lying on its stomach with its head resting on its arm, and its wings are visible behind it. Delfos was a Dutch artist who specialized in portraiture, and his work is known for its realistic detail. This delicate and detailed drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's refined skill in capturing the essence of his subject.
