An 18th century Flemish carved and gilt gesso recumbent putti.
Putti are playful, cherubic figures commonly found in Renaissance and Baroque art, symbolising innocence and love. Often depicted as chubby, winged infants, putti are used to enhance the grandeur of artworks and architecture. They appear in various contexts, such as in paintings, sculptures, and decorative motifs, frequently engaged in activities like playing musical instruments or holding symbolic objects. Their charming, whimsical nature adds a touch of divine or mythical presence to artistic compositions.
