Zes putti met een doek 1754

This etching by Dutch artist Noël Le Mire, created in 1754, depicts a scene of six cherubs holding up a banner. The banner bears a title for a collection of works by the Roman poet Lucretius, translated into Italian by Alessandro Marchetti. The artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the Rococo style prevalent in the 18th century with its playful use of cherubic figures and elaborate ornamentation. The composition and detail showcase the precision and skill of Le Mire, who was known for his work in engraving.
