푸토(르네상스 시기의 천사 아기) by Ernst Klimt

Floating against a textured gold backdrop, this chubby little cherub playfully loops a long, reddish ribbon around his body while gazing out with wide, innocent eyes. He wears a delicate wreath of flowers in his curly hair and sports tiny wings, though time has been a bit rough on him—patches of paint are missing from his knee and arm, revealing the surface beneath. Ernst Klimt, the lesser-known brother of the famous Gustav Klimt, painted this putto, likely as a study for the grand ceiling murals he created for the Burgtheater in Vienna.
