Vignet 1752

"Vignet" is a 1752 etching by Danish artist Peter Cramer, depicting two putti, or cherubs, amidst swirling clouds. One putti holds a trumpet and points towards a wreath held by the other putti. The composition rests on a pedestal adorned with a shield and other heraldic symbols. Cramer was a prolific artist, known for his etchings and engravings, often incorporating allegorical and mythological themes in his works. This vignette, characteristic of his style, exemplifies the use of delicate linework and meticulous detail common in 18th-century engraving.
