About the Item

"Cherubs" (B) Pen and Ink drawing of Putto Italian School Late 17th early 18th century. Pen and ink on paper 6 ½ x 17 ½ (22 ½ x 11 ½) inches Antique scenes of putto and a faun celebrating the fertility and abundance of Bacchus (God of wine and ecstasy) could reinforce the dangers of such excesses.

Today we still refer to alcohol as "spirits.
