EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite 18th century artwork, featuring a charming scene of cherubic figures engaged in the pastoral activity of goat herding. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to the allure of this mysterious work of art. This beautiful black and white chalk drawing on blue and ivory laid paper is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Flemish or possibly Italian artist of the time. The use of black and white chalk on blue laid paper creates a striking contrast, enhancing the delicate details of the putti, or cherubs, as they tend to their goats in a serene and idyllic setting. This artwork, which is part of the vast collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a rare depiction of the concept of amorini, or cupid figures, in an agricultural context.
