Dancing Putto Holding a Drapery is a 1495 ink by Filippino Lippi, a Renaissance work, depicting Putto, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a putto, a mythological child, dancing and holding a drapery. The putto is drawn with quick, loose lines, giving it a sense of energy. This drawing is interesting because it shows the artist's skill with pen and ink. Look up the technique of cross-hatching to learn more about how artists like Lippi, Filippino create detailed drawings with simple tools.
Filippino Lippi (probably 1457 – 18 April 1504) was an Italian Renaissance painter mostly working in Florence, Italy during the later years of the Early Renaissance and first few years of the High Renaissance.
