Three Cupids Playing Instruments is a 1775 oil by Dirk van der Aa, a Rococo painting work, depicting Putti, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts three cherubs, or putti, playing musical instruments. The cherub in the foreground is playing a flute, while the one in the background is playing a violin. The third cherub is playing a harp. The cherubs are surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, and the background is a soft, creamy color. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of joy and music. The use of oil paint and the attention to detail in the cherubs' facial expressions and the instruments they play suggest a high level of skill and craftsmanship.
