Frieze with Putti (decorative panel) is a 1865 oil by Francis Wollaston Moody, depicting Putti, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a group of putti, or young boys, in a frieze. They are naked and seem to be dancing or playing. Some of them are holding onto each other, while others are standing alone. The background is dark, which makes the putti stand out. The putti are painted in a realistic style, with lots of detail. You can see the muscles in their bodies and the folds in their skin. The artist used oil paint to create the image, which gives it a rich, vibrant look. The painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum. If you want to learn more about this style of painting, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
