Three Cherubs and Two Boys Each Raising One Arm on Clouds

Wenceslaus Hollar, after Peeter van Avont

National Gallery of Art

The image shows four cherubic figures seated or reclining on clouds. They appear unclothed, with small wings and youthful facial features. One cherub has shoulder-length wavy hair, while the others have short, curly hair. They look upwards with expressions of curiosity or engagement. Some are interacting with billowing fabric or ribbons. The background is a plain, textured space.
