About the Item

This small study on paper, 18 x 21 cm, depicts a group of nude putti, about 7 of them, in small groups engaged in various activities, of which we can recognize that of the three in the upper left, namely looking through a long telescope; the others, however, seem intent on reporting something on boards. Thus, they could be idenfied as allegories of the "quadrivium," or arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy, which together with the "trivium" arts formed the seven liberal arts, For stylistic reasons, it can be attributed to the Tuscan area, most likely Florentine, and from the various levels of preliminary studies in which the scene is presented (from well-defined figures in which the musculature is also identified to others barely sketched) a provenance from the academic sphere can be inferred.
