Provenance:
Joseph F. McCrindle, New York (McCrindle collection no. A0443).
Summary:
This anonymous drawing in pen and black ink with gray wash is of three putti, who hover around foliage and are linked in an enterprise to bind a helmet and shield to an architectural structure. The drawing appears to be cut on the bottom and top, suggesting it was part of an image of a larger scaled ornamental composition, possibly for a chimney piece.
Associated names:
