About the Item

A fine small Italian 17th/18th century sepia ink study of 6 putti in different positions. Paper mounted on paper. A tergo written "Scuola Lombarda". A putto/putti are figure in a work of art depicted as a chubby male child, usually naked and very often winged. Originally limited to profane passions in symbolism, the putto came to represent a sort of baby angel in religious art, often called a cherub, though in traditional Christian theology a cherub is actually one of the most senior types of angel. The same figures were also seen in representations of classical myth, and increasingly in general decorative art. In Baroque art the putto came to represent the omnipresence of God. A putto representing a cupid is also called an amorino.
