This painting shows a group of putti, or cherubs, in a heavenly scene. One putto, with curly brown hair and white wings, wears a red cloth and points to the right. Another putto, with short brown hair and white wings, wears a purple cloth and looks down. The putti are surrounded by clouds, and the background is a warm yellow-brown color. The overall mood is one of serenity and joy. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy the work of artist Simon Vouet.
