Putti Preparing the Interior Decoration of a Mansion

Charles-Nicolas Cochin II

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of cherubs engaged in artistic and architectural activities within an ornate interior. The top of the image shows detailed linework of a rococo-style setting with cherubic figures involved in creative pursuits. Some cherubs are at a table with a compass and paper, while another climbs a ladder and one holds a palette. The bottom portion is mostly empty, aside from a decorative letter "S" with small cherubic figures.
