This pen and ink drawing by Jacob de Wit depicts two hovering cupids. The playful composition showcases the artist's skill in capturing movement and expression. The drawing likely served as a preparatory study for a larger work, highlighting de Wit's mastery of figure drawing, a common theme in his oeuvre. The delicate lines and dynamic poses of the figures exemplify the Rococo style popular during the artist's lifetime. Currently housed in the Städel Museum, the drawing is a valuable glimpse into de Wit’s artistic process and the artistic trends of his time.
