Entry catalogue Italian Drawings 1400-1600

Author: Klazina Botke

The boy in this drawing is looking back over his shoulder at the viewer. He is naked, and the position of his legs suggests that he is hovering in the air. This is very probably a preliminary study for a putto, a chubby little boy who is found in both religious and secular scenes. In 1923 this sheet and a similar study (DN 127/24) was donated to the museum by the collector and art lover Adriaan Domela Nieuwenhuis. Since the two putti are in very similar poses it is not inconceivable that they were drawn in the same workshop.
