This 17th-century etching by Hubert Quellinus, a prominent Flemish artist, is a detailed depiction of a lunette with putti, wolves, and weaponry. Created between 1655 and 1783, the artwork showcases Quellinus's mastery of detail and anatomical precision. The lunette, a decorative architectural element, is framed by two putti interacting with wolves. The composition includes a central roundel, possibly intended for a portrait or inscription, encircled by a laurel wreath, a symbol of victory and honor. This intricate piece, held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the decorative and symbolic art of the Dutch Golden Age.
