About this work
This is one of the best-known compositions by Du Quesnoy, a Flemish sculptor who worked in Rome. The playfulness of the theme and the subtlety with which the softness of the putti’s chubby flesh was carved in the marble contributed greatly to its fame. Du Quesnoy’s style influenced many artists, including his fellow countryman, Artus Quellinus, who studied with him in Rome.
