Morning

Philipp Otto Runge

Cleveland Museum of Art

The drawing shows a large plant with a long stem and leaves growing out of clouds, surrounded by a border of plants and angels. The plant has a star at the top and multiple cherubs stacked on top of each other. The plant splits into three stems near the bottom; each stem bends out to the side and has a cherub sitting on top. The bottom of the plant is surrounded by clouds, on which cherubs are sitting or lying. The border of the drawing features two plants with flowers on either side and two cherubs sitting on top, one at the left and one on the right; and a cherub at the bottom right sitting in a bowl. The background of the drawing shows a cloudy sky. The title of the drawing is "Morning" by Philipp Otto Runge.
