Amor jousineen is an unspecified by Frans Wouters, depicting putto, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a chubby, naked child with wings—like a baby angel—floating against a dark background. The child holds a bow and arrow in one hand and a bundle of red cloth in the other. The cloth looks like it’s wrapped around their arm, and their face has a serious, almost surprised expression. The dark background makes the red cloth and the child’s skin stand out sharply. The way light hits the child’s body gives it a soft, rounded look. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro.
