This etching depicts a putto, a winged cherub, standing in place to clothe itself. The artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, known for his architectural engravings, captures the child-like figure with meticulous detail, showcasing the beauty of the human form through the use of light and shadow. This work, though not dated, exemplifies Piranesi's artistic range, transcending his focus on architecture to explore the figure in a captivating and insightful manner.
