Two cherubs

Fritz Boehle

Two cherubs by Fritz Boehle

These two chubby figures look less like heavenly angels and more like real, grumpy toddlers caught in a sibling squabble. Drawn with warm red chalk, the standing baby plants his hands on his hips with a serious, almost annoyed expression, while his seated companion tugs at his hand and scratches his head in confusion. The artist captures the soft rolls of baby fat and the awkward, top-heavy proportions of infants with incredible observation. It feels like a candid sketch from life, freezing a moment of childhood frustration rather than a polished, idealized religious scene.
