Putto, op een zeepaard gezeten c. 1526 - 1606

Adam Fuchs's "Putto, op een zeepaard gezeten" is a 16th century engraving that depicts a winged putto riding a seahorse. This small print, measuring 80 mm by 128 mm, is executed in intricate detail with the artist's signature visible at the bottom. The putto, a symbol of innocence and playfulness, is depicted riding the mythical seahorse with ease, further emphasizing the lightheartedness of the scene. This piece is a fine example of the artistic style of the Dutch Renaissance, with its classical influences and meticulous attention to detail. The engraving is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
