A cartoon fragment for the putto to the right of Poetry, in the Stanza della Segnatura, Pp,1.76

This drawing captures the soft features and tight, spiraling curls of a child's face using delicate black chalk. It is a working study for a larger fresco, showing the artist's focus on the subtle modeling of shadows around the eyes and the downward gaze of the figure. As a cartoon fragment, it was likely used to transfer the design directly onto the plaster of the Vatican's ceilings.

The Stanza della Segnatura represents the peak of High Renaissance Neoplatonism, reconciling classical wisdom with Christian theology. This putto accompanies 'Poetry,' a figure whose motto 'Numine Afflatur' (Inspired by the Divine) refers to the Platonic concept of divine frenzy (furor poeticus) promoted by Marsilio Ficino.
