Twee putti bij zuil met een hart 1716

"Twee putti bij zuil met een hart" is an etching by Dutch artist Bernard Picart, created in 1716. The artwork depicts two cherubs flanking a pillar adorned with a heart, all framed by a decorative border. This intricate detail is characteristic of Picart's style, which often incorporated elaborate motifs and classical allusions. The inscription "UBERTAS EX FADERE ET PACE" translates to "Abundance from Peace and Faith," suggesting a deeper meaning beyond the decorative elements. This small-scale work, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Picart's contributions to 18th-century Dutch printmaking.
