Jacob de Wit

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of figures and cherubs amidst clouds. The drawing features numerous figures seated or flying among swirling clouds. The most prominent figure is floating or ascending on the left with a flowing cloak, while other smaller figures resemble cherubs with curly hair and playful demeanor. Additional clouds and abstract designs are in the background, contributing to the ethereal and dynamic quality of the scene. The style is reminiscent of Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo.
