Putto as Spring

Ferdinand Tietz

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a cherub or putto with a white body and gold accents. The putto has curly hair, a bare torso, and is depicted with one leg bent and one extended. The putto holds a long, thin object in their left hand and a gold object in their right hand. The gold objects appear to be decorative and have leaf-like features. The putto wears a cloth or drapery around their waist that is gold in color. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The putto is attached to a thin metal pole. The title of the sculpture is "Putto as Spring" and it was created by Ferdinand Tietz.
