Cherub on a Vase with Inscription: "SOLI DEO HONOR"

Francesco Francia or Peregrino da Cesena

National Gallery of Art

The image features a cherubic figure, likely representing Cupid, standing in a dynamic pose with one leg raised and the other extended behind. The figure has a youthful face, short wavy hair, and is mostly unclothed with wings on its back. The background includes a banner with the inscription "H. O. D." and a decorative textured backdrop with a rounded base beneath the figure's feet.
