Coat of Arms with Three Putti

Hubert François Gravelot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative coat of arms. The drawing includes an ornate shield at the center with a crown above it, featuring a design with stars and other motifs. Flanking the shield are cherubic figures - one holding a staff or scepter and another with a bow - sitting amidst swirling clouds or drapery. Below them are books and scrolls. The composition is framed with scrollwork, banners, and calligraphy.
