This sketch shows small, chubby figures—putti—busy with bundles of wheat. One stands tall, holding a sheaf, while others kneel or crawl, their arms full. The lines are loose and quick, almost like scribbles, with just a hint of color here and there. The putti look like they’re working together, maybe harvesting or carrying grain. The drawing feels lively but rough, like it was done fast. If you like this, check out putti to see how they show up in other art.
