This red chalk drawing by the Italian Renaissance artist Correggio depicts two putti, or cherubic figures, in a dynamic composition, seen from below. The artist’s use of hatching and shading creates a sense of volume and depth, highlighting the figures' rounded forms and the interplay of light and shadow. The drawing exemplifies Correggio’s masterful skill in capturing the human figure and conveying movement, a quality that would later become a defining characteristic of his paintings. It's likely this drawing was a preparatory study for a larger work, perhaps a fresco or an altarpiece. The drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
