Putti Playing

About this work

You see a group of putti, or cherubs, playing together in this engraving. They're shown in different poses, some climbing on each other. The artist included many details, like the folds of their clothes and the textures of their hair. The putti are depicted in a lively and energetic way, which makes the scene feel dynamic. This style was common during the Renaissance, when artists often used putti to decorate artworks. Check out the work of the artist: Master of the Die.
