This sketch shows two chubby, winged kids—putti—floating in the air. One holds a bow, the other an arrow. The lines are loose and quick, like they were drawn fast. Shadows and light are soft, blending into each other. The drawing looks like a rough study, not a finished piece. The artist used simple shapes to show movement and playfulness. Next, look up putti to see how they show up in other artworks.
