Trechter met putti met prenten in hun handen 1882

Frans Van Kuyck's 1882 etching, "Trechter met putti met prenten in hun handen," depicts cherubic figures surrounding a large funnel, a symbol of printmaking. The putti hold prints, while a ribbon at the top reads "Eaux-Fortes," referencing the etching technique, and "Vingt-quatre," possibly the edition size. The piece, measuring 322mm by 240mm, is a testament to the artistry of etching and the role of cherubs in symbolizing artistic creation. It offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century printmaking and Van Kuyck's unique perspective on the art form.
